Estes Teros Upscale, Part 10, Primer Shots


The pencil lines on the nose cone is to remind me to sand down what remains of the molding seam.
After the primer is shot, many imperfections show up and I was able to see a slight wide raised seam.

The concave ramjet seam was sanded smooth with 400 grit around a Q-tip.

The body tube primer was sanded down, still leaving some filler in what was left over from the CWF fill.

In the back is a rolled up paper towel to keep paint out of the open area between the engine mount and inside tube walls.



The fins filled well, there's not much of the primer left in the grain.
From the outside edges there isn't any indication of a laminate seam.
