Estes Space Shuttle Columbia Build #1385, Part 17, Nose Cone Mask

More masking!

The black areas on the nose are outlined.

On the left side, look close at the intersection of the tape lines. I lightly cut the intersection with a diagonal line, trying to cut just through the tape.

On the left, the vertical excess has been pulled. Next I remove the horizontal extension.

I'll usually add another piece over the cut diagonal line just to be sure. A mistake shown in the picture - That added piece of tape should have been going outside the intersection to the upper left. It was moved outside the black paint area after the picture was taken.

Here you can see the open nose with the corner tape piece moved.

All the area remaining white was masked with brown masking tape and pieces of plastic grocery bag.

The entire bottom surface of the wing is black. 

Brown tape was extended over the back and will allow the edges to get some black.
