Estes Honest John, #7240 Build, Part 14, Nose Cone Paint - Oops!



The paint instructions are vague.
I masked around the circumference of the notched rings.
BIG MISTAKE!
I assumed this was the right height for the black decal squares.



Don't assume -
I should have double checked against the black decals.



The upper square block is just about 5/8" tall.
Check out how close the date stamp is - almost on the decal itself.







Well, it'll have to be re-shot white then masked again for the red.
The pencil mark is 5/8" above the upper recessed ring. I might mask it a hair short of the 5/8" mark so there won't be any white above the black decal top.
