New Painting Wands

It was about time to make some new painting wands.
I bought a 48" long, 1/2" diameter dowel and cut it into three 16" long pieces.
An empty engine casing friction fits over the 1/2" diameter dowel perfectly. You might have to round the edges of the dowel to get the casing to slip over the end.

I left the dowel recessed at the top for a glue fillet.

This painting wand even works on this two engine cluster Magnum rocket.
I'll put another casing in the other empty motor mount to keep out the sprayed paint.

I usually leave the dowel wand in the model after painting. Sometimes it helps to have the extension dowel left in for wet sanding and decals.
