Painting the Tail Section

With now two screw ups I really wanted to get this part of the kit done. I debated leaving the tail yellow but I really like how the stripes gave it a nice look. I could reprint the red stripes again on white decal paper but then I would have to metrically cut each strip which would be a long process and not guarantee results. In the end, I decided to use a new product I called Tamiya masking tape for curves which has a plastic-like texture and paint the sections red instead. Took about 20 minutes to complete the masking job.
