DFR Tech. Delta II Build Part 13 Pre-Paint Masking

I am building this model in sub-assemblies, painting before gluing it all together.

It would be difficult to get good spray paint coverage between all the SRM tubes and nose cones.
All the gluing surfaces should be masked off before painting.

You can see the 3/32" wide masking tape strips down the SRM body tubes.

Likewise, the corresponding SRM attach mounts have masking tape strips on the outside edges to keep the paint off the glue points.

The central engine mount will be painted black.

Tape was placed over the outside edges of the lower centering ring.

An expended casing was inserted to keep paint out of the engine mount tube.
