Quest Striker AGM Build Part 14 Decals Over Bad Mask

These are the "extra" leftover fin stripes.
There wasn't any need to apply black stripes over black fins.

Around the tailcone/reducer there was some mask lines that weren't very good. Here's a tip to clean them up.

TIP: Use sharp edged decals to clean up some bad masks.
Cut off the clear edges on one side of the long line decals.










On the left is the decal stripe over a mask that needed a rough edge cleaned up.
It hasn't been slid down yet.
On the right, the decal stripe is in position matching the black paint on both sides of the decal.
I simply covered up a glitch in the mask where the separation line wasn't clean.
I used more decal strips to clean up the lines around the tailcone/reducer.

After clear coating, you wouldn't be able to see the touch up decal unless you were really looking for it.
