Estes Paveway III Build, Part 11, Upper Body Mask

This is an interesting mask on the smaller upper half.
The tube is sprayed olive drab and the fins are aluminum. The fins will have to be masked off and kept white for the aluminum coming later.

First, the Olive Drab.
Scotch tape masks don't bend easily around sharp corners.
I started with small rectangular pieces over the leading edge joint.
Longer side pieces were added.




Here's the complete mask for the olive drab spray.


The upper picture is after the first mask was removed.

The inset shot shows the olive drab body masked off for the aluminum fin spray.
