There were two small, shallow dents in the fin. I knew that regular water-based wood filler wouldn't stay in the shallow area when sanded down.
The solvent in the Squadron Putty cut into the white paint and held!
I'm now a big fan of this filler putty.
The flaps were slightly longer than the trailing edge of the fins.
This was on purpose so they could be sanded down to the fins already on the model.
The four sided fingernail file is perfect for shaping like this.
The lower section got another coat of white and some final fine sanding.
Here's the mask using Scotch tape, tan masking tape and grocery bags for the large areas.
The V2 low end got two coats of black paint.
TIP: The BT-70 tube fits perfectly over the top of the Rusto 2x paint can making it a good stand for drying.
