Semroc Point, KV-58 Build, Part 3, Parts Prep

The nose cone shoulder lip was a bit rounded.

I painted CWF over the shoulder edge, only on the low end of the nose cone. Keeping the CWF off the top of the nose cone gives me something to hold onto.

Press into the body tube and turn the nose cone. this will leave a raised bead of filler.

After the CWF dries you can sand the new lip even with the sides of the nose cone. That should square up the edge.

The nose cone had a dip in the center. I marked it with a pencil and did another coat of CWF in that area.

The ST-7 engine mount tube had the seams filled with CWF. Filler/primer followed. This was sanded to surface leaving the gray filler in the seams.

The circle punch ports got a light wipe of glue to protect the tube from the ejection charge.
