Estes Gyroc Build Part 10, Paint and Decals

Here's the Gyroc after the first white undercoat.
This is a tough model to spray and even harder to sand smooth. There is just too many inside angles to cover!

On the left shows after wet sanding with 400 grit. The nose cone / body tube seam is gone.
There was still some small "sand-thrus" into the gray primer. Sometimes you can touch up the undercoat. The Rusto 2x paint melds into itself pretty well and saves you from spraying again.

I sprayed a small amount into a disposable cup and touched up any gray.
The picture shows more paint on the brush than I would normally use to touch-up.



Here's the Gyroc after the Yellow sprays.


The black decals are applied. It looks close to the 1970s catalog picture.

The elastic ties are next.
