This is one of the three sides with the Scotch tape in place.
The black marked side is facing in. The cut "tapered arrow" point is on the inside.
It takes some time to get the strips straight. Sight from the rear to be sure the tape goes in a straight line.
The remaining open area in the center gets a long triangle of masking tape.
To keep any over spray out of the tube, an engine casing on a dowel goes in the rear. A rolled piece of paper slides in the top.
The nose cone was also painted blue.
This is a finished picture of the upper section of the larger Super Mars Snooper.
Notice the fin corners are rounded off, just like the original design from the mid 1960s.
