Micro-Maxx Estes Fat Boy, Part 6, Fin Grain & Body Tube Seam Fill




Before printing the decal (and wasting a decal paper sheet)
A test sheet was printed on 20 lb. copy paper to check the fin decal sizes.

These are a tight fit with an even border around the custom drawn letters.
The fit seemed good and the water slide decals were printed.





Here's the fins after a CWF fill and sand with 400 grit.

Filler/primer spray follows then more sanding to surface with 400 grit.






The fin gluing line had the filler/primer scraped off.
Filler/primer seals the surface. Wood glues won't stick as well on a sealed surface.

After scraping, redraw the root edge pencil lines.
