Thrustline Arapahoe C, Part 13, Mask Reveal and Decal Trim


When removing a mask, pull the tape back over itself and away from the line.
The tape is pulled and folded back over itself.






For the red,I used the Rustoleum Red Metallic. I has very fine metallic specs that show well under sunlight. It sprays on thin but dries fast. This paint is best applied in thin coats.
Here's the completed mask.



I printed up some black trim lines on the decal sheet.
To get the black strip to roll around the fin, start it halfway around the leading edge. The second piece on the other side will finish up the half roll.

On the trailing edge, roll the black strip over the trailing edge and let dry a bit before trimming.

With a sharp razor blade, cut straight down the middle of the overlapping decal strips. Cut through the decals only, not into the paint and wood fin.
Lift out the overlap pieces and press down the ends matching up the edges. It's up to you whether or not you want to trim off the lower tip of the "V".
