One side is white, the other side is green.
Again I used Scotch tape down the center of the leading and trailing edges. They are set down on a piece of cardboard for controlled spraying. The white underside was fully masked off to keep the green out.
On the other side, the root edge is still bare balsa for a stronger glue bond on the wing.
The glue strip mask is pulled up from the wing.
The strip of tape is a bit narrower than the 1/8" root edge thickness.
The "K" pieces are glued in place.
You'll have to visit the next post to see the Silver mask shown on the left.
TIP: Do the silver mask last - You don't want to lay sticky masking tape over any metallic paint! The tape can mar the reflective paint surface.
I don't think I realized how evil those masks were until this post. I wonder how many builders are actually going to even attempt that, much less execute it properly?
ReplyDeleteHi Neil,
DeleteOh, there's more masks to come! On a video, Bill Stine mentioned my notes about the difficult masking.
Wow...just...WOW!
