Semroc (Centuri) Excalibur KV-43 Build, Part 8, Decal Draw & Red Mask

Mentioned earlier, I'll be trying to duplicate this version from the Centuri Big Shot catalog page.

There were decals included in the Semroc kit, but these were mostly in red. The Centuri model decals were black.
I drew up new decals, some with a bit of red. 

This is an interesting mask - the red and yellow vertical stripes are split in quarters down the tube. Problem is, the four verticals are centered around three fins.

I did a paper wrap around the tubes and folded it into fourths. One vertical bar is centered over one fin, the rear red bar is centers between two fins on the opposite side. This is on both the upper and lower tube sections.



Here's the mask.
On the left is the lower, larger tube. To cover the two white fins, some copy paper was folded around and taped shut.
The third fin is left open and painted red.
The balsa adapter on top is also red. The nose cone is gloss black.






After the masks were pulled -

The model looks good with just the red. I am going to add the yellow in two days after the red paint is thoroughly dry.
