The fins positions were marked using the kit provided marking guide.
The fin pads were held in place and a pencil line traced around the edges. For better adhesion, 220 sandpaper was used to rough up the fin pad area inside the pencil line.
The fin pads were glued on.
The upper cable tunnel covers were glued on.
One goes in line with the fins, the other is centered between the fins on the other side.
A dry assembly of the nose cone and the Pershing is starting to look like something!
Looking really nice. Have you decided on a color scheme yet?
ReplyDeleteHi Jim,
DeleteThanks!
I'm going to try the old Estes "test round" paint scheme. It's taken me a while to figure out how is the best way to pull it off, I won't be buying decals, they are pretty expensive. The only thing I can't figure is how to to the white US ARMY lettering. I might have to get some vinyl cut.
