FlisKits Tartar Build Finished











The tail cone was sprayed with aluminum before gluing in place.
The nose cone was sprayed white, off the model.
The body was painted gloss red. Then all three painted assemblies were assembled.
The engine hook and outside shroud seam was lined up under a fin.
I was happy with the way the nested "Super Shroud" turned out. Very smooth and strong.
All the card stock reinforcement pieces still aren't as smooth as I'd like, even after all the sanding between coats.

With its BT-60 size and almost 22" length it could have been a 24mm rocket.
This is a sharp looking model and a great addition to the fleet.

The Fliskits website says it weighs 3.8 oz.
My finished Tartar weighs             3.58 oz.
