The model was slid down a painting wand for white undercoats.
The engine mount hasn't been glued in yet so the rocket can slip onto the 18mm motor casing attached to the painting wand.
On the left,
Sharpie inked Scotch tape is run down the root edge joints. The leading edge masks are "rounded" by using multiple small pieces of tape.
Before cutting the Sharpie marked tape, wipe off the excess Sharpie ink with a paper towel so no ink gets transferred onto the model.
On the right,
The rest of the body above the fins is taped and blocked with a cut plastic grocery bag.
The fins after the masking tapes were pulled -
I found a picture of the Semroc FAT BOY online and used those colors.
The fins were painted light blue. I had to make a trip to Ace hardware for this "one-time use" color. The nose cone is off the model to be painted gloss red.
