There are two blue conduits shown on the face card picture.
The old Centuri catalog page showed these pieces glued lower on the adapter.
I didn't have blue paint, purple should work.
The nose cone and smaller pod cones were sprayed before gluing in their tubes.
TIPS: I used a strip of chrome trim Monokote around the base of the nose cone. A little bit of chrome really adds a lot to the looks of some designs.
The black vinyl is my old standby - Contact Paper Blackboard material.
You have some freedom with some hatch decals, place them where you want.
TIP: Cut out the inside middle of the canopy decal so it will conform to the curvature of the nose cone.
Holy Cats, Chris! You're doing this model PROUD. Awesome stuff, as usual!
ReplyDeleteThanks Overeasy,
DeleteThis is one of those one out of twenty that may become a shelf queen. It's a little too nice to bang up on the field.
Another thing that's different from the catalog image are the nosecones on the pods.

I do recall that in the example of the kit I had, the pod nosecones were the rounded type rather than the longer "pointy" type pictured in the catalog and facecard.
