Carded BANDITO Build Part 6, Lug & Chrome Trim



If you haven't done so already, glue the paper cover onto the launch lug.

The lug is glued right above the retaining ring centered between two fins.
This version of the Bandito was drawn to look like the model in the 1972 Centuri Catalog HERE
I never like the colors suggested on the Bandito instruction sheet.

Chrome Monokote trim was cut to cover the black printed areas.
This is optional, you could leave the black trim as is. The chrome trim really adds a lot to the final look.



Three smaller pieces of chrome trim were cut and placed over the retaining ring. Tuck the ends inside the open slot in the fin root edge.

Note: The model pictured here was made from the first downscale drawings. The notch on your print isn't as deep going over the retainer ring.
