MX-774 Kitbash Part 8 Sanding Tube Seams


Here I'm sanding down the filler already dried in the body tube seams.

Sand down the length of the tube, up and down, against the seam direction.

Don't sand in a circle or along with the seam, you could knock the filler right out of the tube.
The sanding block is holding 400 grit sandpaper. Carpenter's Wood Filler will not load up sandpaper the way sanding sealer used to.


Look close at the next picture to the left. You can see the filler has been knocked out of the seam. This will require me to go back and fill again.
While some hate the white tubes, it is easier to see the tan filler in the white tube seams.
