Refinishing the Centurion Part 1



My Semroc Centurion has been through a lot! Once it was pulled from a puddle and water poured out of the upper tube.




The forward edges of the fins were chipped and dented.
The nose cone had two "smilies".
Still it was very structurally sound.
I wasn't happy with my first attempt on the build. The fillets were thin, balsa grain showed and for some reason I glued the launch lugs on without filling or painting them.

This model is a favorite. Instead of buying a new one, I thought I'd clean it up and refinish it.
New decals were ordered from Semroc.
