Estes Maxi-Brute Honest John (Kit #1269), Part 6, Truing Up & Filler/Primer

Here's a Part A after truing up with a sanding block.

Make sure all the sides are square and flat as you can get them.

All the launch shoe pieces (and some extras) were stuck down to a spraying cardboard. One (heavier than normal) spray of filler/primer followed.

These pieces were flipped over and sprayed on both sides. Both sides of these parts could be seen on the finished model.

Basswood is smoother than balsa, but will still show a grain.

On top is the piece sprayed with filler/primer.

Below is a piece after sanded to surface using 400 grit on a block. Note the gray filler/primer left in the shallow grain and smoothing out the surface.

After all parts have the primer sanded to surface, the assemblies will be glued up in a later post in this series.
