Centuri Skylab Build, #KB-4, Part 19, Paint & White Trim?




The larger main nozzle and pod nozzles are painted silver off the model.
Mask off the coupler areas on all three.








The remainder of the model is painted gloss white.
I haven't glued on the engine pods yet. I figured it would be easier to sand between coats without the pods in the way.

Red 1/16" wide pinstriping tape was supplied in the kit. 
The instructions have you lay down the red tape for texture and detail lines. Then - paint the model white. 
I'd be concerned the red tape would show as pink through under the white paint. I'll paint the model white then add the white pinstriping lines. 
The remainder of the red tape lines is set down after the white paint is dry.
