Centuri Astro 1, Build, Part 13, Wrap Top Trim


There was a little clear edge that overlapped the top of the body tube.
Another sharp razor blade was used to trim off the overhang.
Wait until the decal is dry before doing a trim like this. The decal will just flop around if it is still wet and pliable.



For a smoother color transition at the nose cone / body tube joint, a Sharpie was used to blacked the body tube edge at the black decal band tops.









I don't know what happened here -
There must have been some oil on the primered nose cone.
The black paint didn't stick and pulled up near the shoulder.

Let it dry, sand smooth, primer and re-shoot the black.
