New Way Lunar Jumper Build, Part 13, Red Trim Tape


The red trim tape is cut using the cardstock template.
Set the tape down the lines and cut with a new blade. 

You are supplied with some extra red trim tape.







Near the top of the body tube, it gets a red line wrap.

I set down a wrap of masking tape for easier alignment and to make sure the red trim ends meet. 

The short BT-20 tubes get a wrap of red trim. Note the three wraps don't go from the fin fillet joint, around the tube to the other fin fillet. It seems short.
I marked the masking tape strip at the center with pencil.
the red strip was also marked at the center.

Set the red tape center over the mark on the tape and wrap the ends around the tube.

Another strip of masking tape was set down for a guide.
The red strip was set down in line against the brown tape edge.

I carefully trimmed the red tape that extended beyond the trailing edge to match the fin curve.
