ASP Ram B Build, Part 13, Thin Vinyl Spiral Trim



Getting a smooth flow on these vertical lines is tricky.
A 1/8" wide strip is pre-cut for you.

Set the lower, shorter piece first.
Start at the low root edge. This piece finishes at the top of the adjacent fin root edge. 
The ends are carefully trimmed down the root edge.

The next longer piece starts on the other side of the fin and continues in a spiral.
Hopefully it ends directly over the starting point. Mine was close!

Oops! If I had followed the color and masking directions - 
There wouldn't have been a launch lug in my way!

I had to trim the vinyl to sit around the lug.
I always cut the tall slot too wide. The slot could have been narrower to tuck into the launch lug fillets.
