MPC Lambda Payloader Build, Part 10, Painting The Fins & Pulling The Tape




The remainder of the fin faces are covered with brown paper masking tape.
 







Here's the mask lines after the tape was pulled.
I was very happy with the results. 

If your fillets are smooth with no bubbles or dips, your fin masks should end up straight and sharp.




Here's the color scheme I was shooting for.















Too bad the generic decals don't give you what was shown on the box.

You do have a checkerboard roll decal, but it is blue with a white background. 
That blue will not go well with the orange on the body tube.
