Estes Mk-109 Stingray Build Part 9 Paint Prep

There isn't much to say about gluing on the fins.
They are TTW and pretty much align by themselves.

Go light with the plastic glue. Any excess will be squeezed out along the root edge line.

The model design looks good, except for the lugs and external shock cord mount. The pictures on the box don't show them.



Before spraying with gloss white, I like to brush down the body  with a soft brush to remove any dust and crud.

Some people like to use tack cloths, but be careful. The sticky coating in the tack cloth can be transferred onto the body surface (especially with a new tack cloth) and may not be compatible with your spray paint.
