TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 46, Nose Section Mask A

The lower part of the long nose section is painted olive drab.
I did a tracing of the curved bands from the Estes decal scan to get near the proper curve for the masking strip.
This slightly down scaled decal scan will also be used to make a template for the upper, horizontal orange bands.

After scaling, the olive drab paint will be on the lower 4.10" of the nose section.
(That small black mark is not on the model, it was drawn in the photo edit.)





Using the curve from the orange nose cone bands as a guide, marked Scotch tape was cut on glass into curved strips.

It took three strips to go around the nose section.

The entire upper section will be masked off and left white for now.
