Estes Vanguard Eagle, Kit # 2193, Part 6, Primer and Paint

With the launch lug glued on it got fillets of Titebond M&TG.

The BT-60 lower tube, adapter and upper BT-55 tube were friction fitted with masking tape, no glue yet.
In this picture the Duplicolor Filler/Primer was shot and is still wet. I spray one coat, fairly thick.




The molding seam on the adapter was sanded. The picture shows a bit of the filler/primer left in the seam.


The bases of the nozzles were sanded flat to remove the molding hold tabs.

The gluing position tabs on the bottom will remain white, they were slipped into cut slots in the cardboard.

The Elmer's Carpenter's Wood Filler didn't stay in the wood grain. You can see the grain pores after the filler/primer was shot.

I'll rub in some CWf with a fingertip and sand smooth. I don't think I'll need another shot of filler/primer, maybe some light sanding between color coats.
