Estes QCC Explorer Build Part 16, Ends and Edges Prep

Here's a dry fit of an intake and fin. The fin won't be glued in until after the intake is glued onto the body tube.
This is an impressive assembly unlike anything I've seen before.

I did a pull on a shroud line and it broke pretty easily.
I got out the 100% cotton embroidery thread and replaced all the lines.

When the intakes are glued on it'll be very hard to get the white paint underneath.
I sprayed some white in a small cup and brushed it on the inside surfaces.

This is the before and after showing the painted underside of the intakes.

I also painted the inside walls of the open top intake where I knew the spray paint wouldn't reach.
