Centuri Vector V #KB-2 Build, Part 10, Shock Cord & Lower Body Paint





The Kevlar shock cord was tied around a second, upper engine block. An outside layer of the block was peeled off to fit the inside of the coupler.






The Kevlar end was slid into the upper tube, don't glue the tube on yet. The upper tube was then slid into the coupler. The Kevlar line was marked a little below the top of the body tube.
The tube was slid off and a loop was tied with the mark at the top of the loop. Look close at the right side pictures to see the mark.




On the left is the mask for the low end purple (left) and blue mask on the right.







The build on the left is painted like the catalog picture, red, silver and blue.
I did find a Rusto Metallic Blue paint, but it was dark. The black decals would disappear if placed over the color that was too blue.

On the right is the variation, I decided on orange, silver and purple.
