Semroc Cherokee D Build, Part 9, Paint



Before the last (heavier) white paint coat you'll want to remove any dust or pieces of lint.

Some use a tack cloth but they can sometimes leave a sticky residue.
I'll usually just dust off the model with a 1" utility brush.
This model has an easy paint job. White body and a red nose cone.
The decals are what really make this model.

A piece of masking tape goes half on - half off the edge of some copy paper.
Wrap this around the nose cone shoulder using the taped rolled paper as a handle.
Spray away!
Two thin coats, light wet sanding between coats.
Then the final, heavier "wet" coat.

BUILD TIME - Spray White and Red = 15  minutes
TOTAL BUILD TIME so far = 4 hours, 20 minutes
