OR Spaced Needle Build, Part 8, Undercoats and Some Color



I didn't have much luck with the white paint undercoats.

The gray areas are where rough spots were sanded smooth, down to the filler primer coat. More white coats followed.


Even using the Titebond M&TG there was some uneven bubbling along the hard to fill launch lug fillet.
This paint was also sanded a bit. Some of the paint will actually help fill the uneven surface.


Easy, easy mask.
About 1/2" above the fins, the low end gets orange paint.
Masking around body tubes usually gets very clean mask lines.


And on the other end, the upper end of the tube gets a mask around the tube with more orange.

I'm hoping the trim and decal will round out the look.
