Body tube was marked for three fins.
The primer was sanded off the pencil lines and the lines re-drawn.
Primer was sanded off the fins where the fillets will be.
The decal art was copied from the JimZ site and cleaned up using Corel Draw.
Everything was printed on Bel decal paper.
After drying it was hit with three coats of Krylon gloss clear.
The only time I use a Krylon product is to clear coat decals.
The fins are glued on like any standard three fin model, evenly spaced at 120 degrees.
Two fillet passes with Titebond M&TG followed.
Masking this one will be a chore.
I don't need them (yet), but if someone asked, would you be able to send them your cleaned up Estes Mini Shuttle decal art?
ReplyDeleteHi Scott,
ReplyDeleteI have them and could send them out.
Send an email request to:
oddlrockets@bellsouth.net.
Be sure to specify the Estes Mini Shuttle PDF. (Some people just ask: "Send me the art!" I don't know what they want.)
