The launch lug is glued in place on the bottom center line of the main body.
I used some tape to hold it in place while some medium CA glue was applied with a toothpick. The small drop of CA was allowed to run down the joint.
The entire model got a shot of gloss white.
The picture shows the sanded rough areas that show up with that first coat of paint.
There was a lot of fine sanding with 400 grit to smooth out the fillets and some rough areas.
TIP: Some inside areas were painted with a brush.
I knew I wouldn't be able to reach these spots with the spray can.
The glider was spray painted separately.
TIP: Mask off the inside of the notched hooks on the glider and main body to keep the paint out.
Here's the underside after a final coat of white.
The model is ready for the tiny decals.
