Estes Dragon Ship 7 #1345, Part 15, Gun Trim

The masking tape strip on the launch lug gun standoff was lifted. The paint lip was sanded smooth.

The guns were painted metallic black instead of just gloss black.
The clear red decal stripes won't show up over black paint so strips were cut from chrome Monokote trim.





Here's how the guns will look set over the flame decals.






I thought this might happen, the ends of the trim strips lifted after an hour.

A small drop of medium CA was set on the seam area. The ends were pressed into the glue until it set up. The seams are all in line and will face the body tube, out of sight.
