Estes Skytracer Clone #1361 Build, Part 15, Gluing On The Thrusters

The instructions say to paint the thruster nose cones flat black.

I still have some Metallic Black and decided to go with that.

This is how I tape a nose cone down for spraying.

One wrap of tape, cut strips on the overhang and splay out.

Stick to some cardboard for spraying.

Here's that metallic black paint. I like it better than flat black.

Here's the view from the rear.

I found these hard to line up while the glue was setting up..

Both of the thrusters in place.

No color masking! 

The decals will make it more interesting.
