Estes Payloader II #3022 Build, Part 9, Primer and Sanding




Once again the Tung wood grain is showing up.
Grain holes showed up on the right side of each forward fin strakes. More filler and sanding!






The hole in the shoulder base of the replacement BMS nose cone needed filling. I used 1/2 of the screw eye dowel and sanded it flat with the base.




Even this far into the filling and priming I'm still working on the rounded edge transition between the main fin and forward strake.
With the primer sprayed it's easier to see the rounded leading edge for sanding corrections.



The first white undercoat was sprayed concentrating on the the fin fillets.
Some 400 grit was wrapped around a Q-tip for cushioned sanding.
Enlarge the picture to better see the sanded glue ridges on the body tube side of the fillet.
