Estes Paveway III Build, Part 15, Fixes

The fin reinforcement plates beside one fin were too close together.
There wasn't much paint inside the open area of the facing plates.
I brushed a bit of water inside the plates.
A penny and guitar pick were slid between the plates to open them up.
After the water had dried the plate spacing was closer to the other three.



The white stick on decals are already starting to lift around the body tube sides.
I'll have to slide some CA glue under the sides with a knife blade.




The tip of the X-Acto knife was dragged through a drop of CA glue.
The glue was wiped off one side of the blade on a paper towel.
Slide the glue under the edge of the lifted sticker.
A very small amount of CA was left under the sticker, not on the body tube.
Don't use much glue, if the CA glue gets on the paint there's no way to remove it other than sanding and repainting.




Roll over the raised sticker edge with a clean, sharpened dowel.
