Brief Description:  Stab/Elevator mask

One step closer! I used a piece of plastic to copy the curve of the trim line on the wings by laying the clear plastic on the wings and marking it with a sharpie. Next, I cut along the line, labeled it top at one end and did the same for the bottom curve of the wing. I temporarily attached the elevator to the horizontal stabilzer and used the same template as the wing, hopefully the curved trim lines will match, giving it a bit of symmetry I hope! I marked some of the rivets on the plastic with a sharpie which ensured I had the same alignment when I flipped it over and used it on the opposite side. Both sides of both pieces where taped off with line tape, then masking tape and plastic was used to mask off the painted tips. The over painted white areas and the rest of the primer coat was lightly sanded to prepare for the black top coat.
