Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 7, Great Tubes!


Oh, how I miss the older, tighter better made tubes!
They feel denser and stronger. 

The picture shows the BT-60 tube lower tube. The seams are very tight and were easily filled with CWF,   

The upper tubes didn't need any CWF, I couldn't find the seam recess! Just a good shot of filler/primer and sanding should take care of anything remaining,
Here the shorter tubes are slid onto rolled cardstock handles for a filler/primer spray.



Above - the BT-60 shot with gray filler/primer.




After sanding with 400 grit.

  1. I like that rolled card stock trick. I’ll have to remember that!
