Refinishing the Centurion Part 4

I wanted to add stripes down the body sides like Centurion had in earlier Centuri catalogs.
They were cut from red electrical tape and laid down the body tube. It took a few tries to get them straight. Sight down from the rear of the tube.

For now, the ends were left long. Electrical tape can stretch when applied and I wanted to be sure the tape had shrunk back before cutting off the excess.

In the above picture, a strip of tape was laid down on both sides of one fin.
After it sat for a day, the excess was simply cut near the leading and trailing edges and rolled over the ends.

Here's the re-finished model with a new Semroc decal.
Sure it's a bit heavier than before, but the balsa grain and launch lug seams are pretty much gone.
This was a model worth saving and flying again.
