Quest Raptor Build Part 13, Fillets and Masking



The fins on this model sweep forward. It's tough to get glue into the leading edge joint on the smaller fins.
I applied a small drop to the stick of a Q-Tip. The drop was set into the joint.




Any excess was smoothed out and picked up with the cotton end of the swab. There is no way you'd get your finger into that small corner to smooth out the fillet.
TIP: The inside of the tube was masked using tape in the tube sticky side out.
This tape was set in half in half out.
A cone of rolled paper was pressed into the tube for a painting handle.
To secure the paper roll, more tape was applied over the tape sticking out of the tube.
