Estes Leo Space Train #7285 Build, Part 10, Masking Black Wing Leading Edges



To match the face card and catalog pictures, this will be an involved mask.

The underside is all black.



The wing was already painted gloss white.
The lug was painted gloss black. No real reason for pre-painting the lug it would have been black in the end.
The lug gluing area was scraped for a good glue bond.







The leading edge is painted gloss black. The picture shows the mask. Scotch tape is along the color separation line, masking tape covers most all the other open areas.

Here's the top edges mask.

Note in the last picture the center are is masked for the I, J and K pieces. Those are painted gray, separately before gluing onto the wing top.








The black edges are painted and tape pulled.
