Estes Odyssey #7235 Build, Part 31, A Decal Fix & Grate Touch-up


There was a crack and break on one of the wing decals. 

There are so many extra decals, who knows where they go? There is no pictures of the underside of the model, so it's up to you!

I used a piece of an extra decal to fill the broken decal gap.

The top of the grates were gray. I'd rather have them painted white.

The gray tops will have to be glue sealed before painting. Otherwise, the paint will just be soaked in and the top will remain gray.

Some glue was wiped into the edge with a Q-tip and allowed to dry.

Gloss white was sprayed into a small cup and brushed over the top edge.

It took a few coats to get coverage.
It looks much better.




There is a rounded bump on either side of the nose cone.
I decided to transfer one of the extra black dots onto the flat front.

A small addition, but it does add some interest.
