Estes Sandpiper, Kit #1389, Part 10, Sanding The White Undercoats


After the first white undercoat,
fine sanding with 400 grit showed there was still some uneven fillets.

The inside fillets are a little hard to reach.
This one showed a bubble after sanding. More glue - 








This had to be the best fitting shroud I've ever done!
It was surprising, I didn't have a shroud tool, the one at payloadbay.com wasn't available. Those tools are now at jonrocket.com.
Smooth, with very little filling.
The 3d printed nose cone turned out very smooth!
Initially, there were very subtle ridges, but those sanded out. One shot of filler/primer and sanding got it ready for color.
