Estes Sasha Build #7271, Part 14, Upper Stage Paint & Decals
TIP: To keep the decal placement consistent on all sides of the fins, make a tracing with a cutout for the star. I also drew a box for the fin flap decal.
The fin flap decal wraps underneath the low edge of the large fin.
I missed some paint on the body tube ends.
Some green was sprayed in a cup and the paint rolled on the edge with a Q-tip.
After all the decals, the green body was hit with an acrylic dull coat. The nose cone and tail cone will be left glossy.
TIP: Before spraying on the dull clear, a moist paper towel picked up all the water spots left after the decals.
The screw-on engine retainer ring was glued on using the Beacon Fabri-Tac glue.
Fabri-Tac rules!
