Estes Lunar Scout #7290 Build, Part 5, Fill, Primer & Paint
The engine mount tube seam was filled with CWF and sanded smooth. The red engine block seam was also filled.
TIP: Don't glue the red coupler in yet, it'll be painted gold later. No gluing it in now will save you from masking it off.
The red coupler was slipped in dry to get a shot of gray filler/primer.
This picture shows the tubes after sanding the filler/primer leaving some in the seams and low areas.
I had to spray the landing legs one side at a time.
The narrow root edges were taped off. Here two landing leg assemblies are joined by a single piece of tape.
The legs were stuck down to a scrap piece of cardboard for the red spray. Let dry, flip over and spray the other side.
The tail ring has a wrap seam on the inside and outside. Both seams could be seen on the finished model, so both were filled.
The ring got a follow-up spray of filler/primer and sanding.
After that, gloss white.
