PhantomBigStu Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Struggling to find a clear reference for where the demarcation between the blue and white lays under the wing, can anyone help me with masking it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Thanks, proved useful though I cant wrap my head round the rear fuselage, can’t get a straight line that tapers to a point as the fuselage curves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) It doesn't go to a point Stu, rather a tight curves as it whips around under the tail & heads back the other way. That is the horizontal profile of the fuselage at that level. This photo shows it well. Steve. Edited August 13, 2018 by stevehnz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomBigStu Posted August 14, 2018 Author Share Posted August 14, 2018 Cheers guys, most helpful though I managed to mask it off to low, and didn’t capture the curve at the rear fuselage well and got some very annoying overspray. Time for a 2nd attempt at masking 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 How annoying , you think you've got it covered and some blue mist sneaks in . If that was a VC10 , it could be the Racasan drips and splashes from the aft toilets and Urinal service panel ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodadriver Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Don't worry, that's completely normal. I've never, ever got a colour demarcation right first time and just accept it as a fact of modelling life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time for a 2nd attempt at masking Hi Stu Don't know how you're masking the rear end but if it helps...…… I bring the two pieces of masking tape to a point on the centreline and then cut a small, suitable sized, part circle out of another piece of tape and put it (ie the bit with the circular cut-out) on top of the rear end taper - a draughtsman's circle template makes cutting the rounded part fairly easy if you have one.

Alan P Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 This might help - it shows the profile of the blue up to the trailing edge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
