Looking over the model, it needed some black on the nose to visually balance out the amount of black on the tail end.
I decided to add just a bit of black to the blunt tip of the nose cone.
It'd be a pain to paint it, it's be easier to cut it out of electrical tape.
That clear square is cut from an Estes engine package, it's from the clear blister outer wrap.
On the rotary punch, I chose a hole that was a little smaller than the nose cone tip.
A piece of the black electrical tape was stuck to the clear plastic piece to give it more body for an easier punch.
The black tape was punched. It took a moment to get the tape circle and clear backing piece out of the punch tube. The black tape was then removed from the clear backing piece.
The black circle tip was positioned with the tip of my hobby knife.
Here's the nose cone tip with the new black detail dot.
Finally, a black electrical tape canopy was added to the nose.
Put a fork in it already!
