Estes Xarconian Cruiser Build Part 24, Mask Reveal and Ceanup

The mask turned out better than I thought it would.

Along the front edge a knife was scraped down the tan paint to sharpen up the edge. This was just some light scraping to straighten out the line.
There was a little slippage of the masking tape between the application and spraying.
Scrape lightly! you are just removing a little of the tan paint before it sets up. Don't scrape down into the white paint underneath.


Here's the front end curve. A little of the pencil center line is visible and will be erased after the paint has fully dried.
Enlarge the picture to see the color separation down the trailing edge.

I'm glad to be done with the masking, it was harder to do than most.

Next up: Almost all the decals!
