Centuri Vector V #KB-2 Build, Part 11, Black Paint & Decals
Here's the mask for the black vanes. This picture shows the upper vane placement
This is the vane mask for the lower placement near the top of the shroud.
The picture on the right shows how to pull the tape off, away and folded over itself.
Whoops!
I got some black over spray on the shroud.
TIPS: With the blue totally dry, I was able to use a Mr. Clean Magic Sponge to scrub off the black.
Using a Magic Sponge can dull the gloss a bit.
Hit the dull area with some polishing compound to bring the gloss back.
Most of the decals are self explanatory, there are extras so you can customize a bit.
At the bottom are "Short Bars" that center between the five fins.
TIPS: I cut the decals off the sheet with the low side wide, leaving an even clear space at the bottom of all five bars. With the even cut at the bottom, the clear area was used to space them up from the bottom of the BT-55 tube.
