New Way Letter - Go Build, Part 12, Fin Masking



According to the face card picture,
the fins will be white, the lower body tube black.

This was a fairly complicated mask, each fin was different.

First the marked Scotch tape lined the root edges.


Brown masking tape covered the rest of the fins.

Before spraying, reburnish the Scotch tape masking strip edges with a Q-tip.



If your root glue fillets were smooth the Scotch tape masks can give a very clean color separation.

I had a few small over sprays. Those were cleaned off with a damp[ magic sponge.
