NewWay Angled Invader, Part 7, Sanding The Pod Fins

I went ahead and painted the interior of the pods with Day-Glo orange. It took five brush coats to get full coverage over the sprayed white undercoat.

TIP: You must use a white undercoat when using phosphorescent colors. Day-Glo colors are very translucent.

Here's how the pods and pod fins fit into the A assembly jig for sanding the angle into the root edge of the pod fins.

Sandpaper must be fit around the square tube "pod" to sand the root edge angle.

You are supplied with a good size piece of 220 grit sandpaper.

Cut the paper to 2 3/4" x 3 1/8" for a good fit around the square pod tube.

Here's how the sandpaper sits, rolled around the square tube.

On the right is the underside of the jig showing the ends of the sandpaper taped to hold it tight around the pod tube.

The fin root edges are slid forward and back  against the sandpaper. 

Make two sets of two sanded fins. 

Be sure the two set root edges "mirror" each other.
