Little Joe II Part 22 Tower Painting


I mentioned earlier that the tower would be painted in sub assembles and then glued together. Understand when building this way, you do compromise some strength of the tower by gluing after painting.

I marked the back end of the skirt for the glue points of the tower sides.

I had some self adhesive trim Monokote scrap that should work well to mask the glue areas. I punched small holes using my rotary punch and set them over the marked spots.


The tower skirt was sprayed black and the self adhesive dots were removed. This left small circles of unpainted balsa for gluing.
