Quest Stiletto Build Part 4, Parts Prep

You'll definitely want to sand the laser cut edges on the fins.
Here is the root edge on a wing. For some reason the middle of the root edge was cut inside the the hold down tabs.
After sanding a bit I still had to remove more edge to get everything flat and even.



Looking ahead:
The blue decal piece at the bottom (inset picture) goes on the upper black painted half of the plastic nose cone.




There's a single molded hatch on that upper half of the nose cone.
You'll have a hard time getting the blue decal to lay down over the hatch without some decal solvent.
I sanded off the hatch. I'll probably sand off the other two hatches on the lower half so you won't recognize it came from the Nike Smoke kit.
