Anyway, the straight lines are compliments of 1/4 inch 3M fine line masking tape of the blue variety. I am not sure about the bottom black positioning, but it was the only way I could keep it parallel to the upper red panel. I guess some input from Duane is needed here, as I can alter whatever I need to before I am finally finished with the fuselage.

The black stripe should fall just below the wing leading edge, (maybe 1/2" or so). It looks to me that you need to raise the black stripe...this will also reduce the size of the white stripe. The top red->black stripe just tucks under the stab. I had to add to mine to accomplish that after the fact...it is tricky during the masking process.
