Quest Magnum Sport Loader #3012 Build, Part 10, White Smooth Sanding



The engine mount was glued in with the BT-20 tubes extending 1/4" out the back.
I lined up the two engine tubes with one of the larger fins.



A fillet was added to the joint of the rear centering rings.
It was a tight joint so a small drop was set on a Q-tip. I didn't fillet  all the way into the corners, just the area you can see in the picture.

Looking back on this, I probably should have painted the exposed end of the engine mount before gluing into the main air frame tube.
After the first white coat was sprayed I found a few pin holes.
One was on the launch lug fillet. It was filled with CWF.

Don't apply too much, get a small amount in the hole and wipe off the excess. CWF dries hard and might be difficult to sand.

The sanded undercoats can end up as the minor, final filler.
There was some small shallow dents in one forward fin. Lightly sand leaving the paint in the recess area.
