Estes Space Shuttle Columbia Build #1385, Part 16, Black Rudder Mask

Did I mention before - this is a difficult mask? After the gray - on to the black trim.
    
I tried to "fold" the tape around the curve at the top of the rudder. No luck.

There is that second, left over balsa rudder - 
Scotch tape was stuck down and blackened with a Sharpie. Wipe off the excess surface ink or some could transfer onto the model.
The rudder top curve was traced and the tape mask cut.



Here's the rest of the rudder mask.
The curve at the top is joined with straight pieces of tape down the front leading edge.







The rest of the larger areas were covered with brown masking tape and plastic bag material.
