The Big Fix, Estes V2 Fix Part 7, Mask, Black Paint and Finish

Here's the before picture , how it looked after sitting in a tree for a month. The members of the Orlando R.O.C.K. group trimmed the tree and got it back to me. That was back in December of 2012!

This certainly wasn't a quick repair!








The V2 has a new 18" Odd'l parachute and is ready for flight.

The re-build and new paint came out well.
The only body part that was replaced was the BT-70 tube.
The nose cone, tail cone and fins were pretty well sealed and are original.

EDIT: I just noticed, I have to add another trim line at the bottom of the "Vs".

The epoxy fin fillets were originally made narrow at the top and wider at the bottom, like the fairings on the real V2.
The fillets were smooth and the mask lines came out very sharp.

The finish is glossy, I might hit it with a coat of flat clear to dull it up.
