Estes Scout Ship Nova Build #1392, Build, Part 7, Black Paint


This design makes sense when you look at the side profile. The raised engine in the rear is a good balance to the dropped nose in the front.



Except for the interior of the engine tube, the entire model is sprayed black.
Here's the model after the first coat of black was lightly sanded with 400 grit.





A rolled up piece of paper was used to block paint from getting into the tube.


There was a little bit of black that got into the tube. This was lightly scraped out and more fluorescent orange was applied.









The model is ready for decal trim.

  1. Hmm, all one color, no masking. That's sounding awfully appealing to me these days...

    (never mind the interior of the engine tube, that's easy to deal with)

    P.S. nice job on the new banner image!

      One color with no masking is a nice change!
