Quest Totally Tubular, Finished

Here's another show build for Quest.
This is an easy Skill Level 1 build.

A classic tube stabilized model where six tubes are glued around the long body tube. 
TIP: You can always fit six tubes around a body tube if the six short stabilizer tubes are the same diameter as the long central tube.

This kit has pre-colored yellow and blue tubes. This was a show model so the tube seams were filled. After sanding the filler down, some of the tube color was removed. This required the tubes to be re-painted.



I did my best to match up the spray paint colors to the sticker ink colors.
This kit is already pre-colored but this was a show build. It required filling the body tube seams. When the filler was sanded, some of the color was removed. I had to do a shot of filler/primer, a white undercoat then the blue and yellow colors.


The paint / sticker color match was close!

The paper sticker edges want to lift. I probably should have sprayed the back with some adhesive spray.
