Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 17, Upper Fins Mask

Well, for whatever reason -

I can't find pictures of the upper body white/blue mask on the camera flash card. So . . . 

I went back to the December 2011 build of my Mars Snooper clone.

The same masking techniques were used on the smaller Mars Snooper and the Super Mars Snooper build. This is almost a reprint of the older posts with pictures from the 2011 build.

To find the centers between the fins, a piece of paper was pressed into the root edges of two facing fins. The root edges were marked and the paper folded between the pencil tick marks.

This guide was set back between the fins and the center line drawn at the top of the body tube.

Three Scotch tape strips were stuck down to the glass on my patio door.

A 1/4" thick black line was drawn down the center with a permanent marker.

With a knife a straightedge the strips were cut down the middle of the marked line.

The top half was cut to an long "arrow point". The strip on the left has one side removed.

I went to Ace Hardware with the kit face card in hand to match the blue on the Mars Snooper picture. Ace Royal Blue Premium Gloss Enamel looked to be the right shade. 

The nose cone also blue - spray it at the same time.
