Estes Cosmic Interceptor Build, Part 20, Nose Cone Fix


There was a recess divot in front of the canopy.
It looks like the kit assembler cut off a mold line. 

I'll fill it with medium Super Glue. Set a drop of glue in the recess. Let dry horizontally, the glue drop can run.   



After the glue dries,
Sand to follow the round curve of the cone. 

The recessed lines are lightly filed using a triangular diamond file. Don't go too deep!




The recess lines are back, not perfect but better than not having them at all.







A shot of filler primer showed areas that needed touchup.

The second photo shows another mold line to fill towards the tip.
