Then the final heavier coat.
This is an easy one to paint, it's just gloss white overall.
TIP: The two Caution decals go on either side of the front.
Set the first one down and wrap a strip of paper around the tube to help line up the opposite decal.
The long purple line with the "2" is tricky. It breaks at the nose cone seam.
TIP: Push the nose cone all the way into the tube. Set the entire length of the decal down, the break in the purple line goes on the seam.
Cut the break in the decal after it dries.
I mentioned earlier there is no second set of wide purple bands on the decal sheet. The instructions show the wide band on the upper and lower wing surfaces.
There are plenty of extras with no placement shown for them.
I used some of the thinner purple stripes to give some interest to the underside of the rocket.
I didn't use all the decals. It might have ended up looking too busy.
Which white paint did you use? Was the, "light coat" paint that you sanded different from the, "heavier coat" paint or the same?
ReplyDeleteHi Scott,
DeleteIt was all the same paint, Rusto 2X Gloss White.
Two light white coats, light sanding between coats.
Then a heavier final coat.
The final heavy coat is tricky. Thick enough to give a high gloss but not too thick or it might run.
