Estes Antar #7310 Build, Part 11, Nose Cone Tip Mask

On the left is the nose cone tip decal. It is an arc to fit the nose cone tip taper.

On the right side was my first attempt. I painted the silver too low. The decal wouldn't meet and didn't cover up the silver/white mask line.

The silver had to be sanded down and the mask repeated in the right location.

Wrap the arc decal around the nose cone tip before painting to find the correct height.

The instructions don't tell you how far down the silver mask goes.

I found the right depth to be 15/16". 

This should set the red arc decal width right over the mask line.

I cut an arc out of marked Scotch tape. This could take a few tries to get the line smooth.

Look close to see a few pencil marks going around the nose cone tip to set the tape edge on. 

On the right is the mask in place ready for spraying. The area below the mask also needs to be blocked off.
