Quest Intruder Kit Bash, Part 14, Finished Masks & Decals

Here's the back end mask. The white paper covers allowed me to mask the red engines while the black toothpick spikes were sprayed.

After the black spikes dried, two more paper covers went over the black spikes and the red motors were sprayed. 

After the masks were removed -

The red mask turned out great, nice and sharp.

The black mask needed some touch up with a brush. The glue fillet was smooth but recessed not allowing a good seal.

Look close. you might see some pencil lines on the trailing lines of the wind flaps.

These were drawn purposely long and were to be trimmed to size.

Canopy decals are usually fitted over curved nose cones.

Experience has taught me to cut them as shown in the picture, This allows the decal to flex.

Note there aren't any sharp cuts on the inside arc. Don't give your decals a chance to tear.
