Estes Mini Bertha Clone, #TK-3, Part 9, White Paint & Masking

Here's the model after the first white coat.

This is an easy mask, the body is white, the nose cone and one fin are black.

There are always glue fillet ridges.

Here's the same fillet area after sanding.

The single fin is painted black.

This shows the Scotch tape masks.

These are followed with brown masking tape covering the larger areas. A plastic bag covered the upper tube.

Before spraying the black, the edges are soft burnished with a Q-tip.
