NewWay Angled Invader, Part 14, Last Minute Touch-up and Upper Body Yellow



Every little glue blob, balsa grain and divot shows when paint is applied.
Along the sides of the nose cone detail pieces was a slight open line in the 3D print. A water based CWF filler wouldn't stay in after the model was sealed so I ran some medium CA glue into the crack applied with a toothpick.

This was sanded down to surface.

I followed with a shot of gloss yellow.
I guess I sanded the dried CA glue too much, the gray primer showed through the somewhat transparent yellow.

Another shot of white before a second follow-up yellow coat.





This will be an easy mask.
Yellow first, then a straight roll around mask of the upper body, 6" below the top of the body tube. Notice where the yellow cover stops.

Black to follow in 48 hours.
