The single black fin was spray painted black.
The nose cone was painted black separately, off the model.Note the masking tape doesn't completely cover the shoulder. The edge of the tape is a little below the shoulder lip. The gives you a little paint below the joint. You won't see balsa peeking out if the nose cone isn't completely seated into the body tube.
I drew up some decals based on the old catalog page graphics.
These were home printed on clear decal paper.

The fit was good, the decal start and stop overlap was set in line with the launch lug.
The Mini-Brute "bugs" were set on the body tube and both sides of one white fin.
Model looks great the decals are just Awesome.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill!
DeleteI did some cleaning up of the words "MINI BRUTE" over the bugs body. They were harder to read in the originals.
The next post will show a decal fix.
Out of curiosity, what software do you use when drawing up the decals?
DeleteHi Naoto,
DeleteI use Corel Draw.
