ASP D Region Tomahawk Build, Part 6, Filling the Nose Cone and Fins

Both the tube and nose cone got a good single coat of Duplicolor Primer/Filler.

Before sanding is on the left, after sanding is on the right.

The fins were set on a piece of cardboard. Hold them down on some masking tape, sticky side up. The root edges are together to keep the paint out.

Basswood fins don't require any CWF, there isn't much grain to fill. A good shot of primer/filler should take care of it.

Here's a fin after the primer/filler was sanded down.

Note the grey primer/filler is still on the high edge of the fin taper. If sanded properly with a block the remaining filler can help define the tapered edge. You must use a sanding block to retain the edge tapered line.
