Estes Antar #7310 Build, Part 10, K Piece Mask


If you want to mask the gluing line for the root edge of the K pieces -
The ANTAR templates for the masking and decal placement are available now for Patreon members.
Email me at: oddlrockets@bellsouth.net 
and ask for the Antar templates.

The wing masking template has this masking rectangle. Cut out the rectangle.


Set the template on the wing.
Cut a strip of masking tape and set it inside the cut out strip. 



Leave this masking strip on the wing  as you spray the white and hunter green.
For me, it's easier to mask the wings and K piece separately then glue on the K pieces after painting.


Some masking tape was placed around the inside of the tail end to keep the paint out. A rolled up paper towel fills the low end mask.

The body got an initial spray of gloss white. The white paint shows any rough fillets or glue blobs to be sanded smooth with 400 grit before the finish coats.
