Pinstriping is difficult and time consuming but it is looking good. Have a question when come to the end and you have to connect to another pin stripe how do you cut it to get it exactly the same and in line with the bottom one.

A lot of trial and error! And a little price of tape on the edge to show me where the end on the other side is.

Finally got the pinstripes masked up on the fuse, landing gear and tail. And because it took 3 days to get it done, I got a little worried about leaving it until I got the wings masked.

So I hatched the plan to get the fuse, LG and tail feathers finished and then do the wing. That way I can try to get the tape off ASAP.

All masked up and ready for the white, so....

It's now white

Red will be on Monday.

This is going to be AWESOME when it is finished. . . . .

Wow that is not easy to hide black with white that must have taken a few coats. Does look bigger in white. I can never wait long enough to pull the pin striping off to see how it looks. Great job.

Actually, dope will cover really well. It only took 2 coats to cover the black. The only spots where it didn't do so well was on the elevators, but I'm pretty sure it was my fault, and I just missed spaying those spots. I'll touch them up when I spray the wings.

I'll get masking for the red tomorrow, and maybe get it sprayed. If not I'll spray it Tuesday morning.

Safety first, I don't want red snot

Nice. Now hurry up and peel all the tape off so we can see it all.

It's got to sit until tomorrow. Dope softens the underlying layers of dope, so I you pull tape to soon, you could pull everything up all the way down to bare fabric.

Tonight is gonna suck... It's gonna be like a little kid on Christmas waiting to open presents

Ok I gotcha. Didn't know that.
