Enerjet by Aerotech, Astrobee D Build, Part 15, Flat Finish & Fin Fix

Now that more paint has arrived - 

Here's one of the two body tubes after spraying with the insignia white. You can see there is a bit of tan and gray in the color mix.

TIP: This is a flat finish paint, so I'm handling it with a paper towel. Oils from your skin can mar and stain the finish.

Here's one of the fins after painting with a flat tan. I painted the fins before adding the "decal" sticker strip over the leading edge. (More in the next post)

That sticker strip would get in the way of any sanding or scratch smoothing.

 

There was a bubble under the paint in the "skin" surface of the fin. 

I didn't want to cut out and leave a depression that would have to be filled. I lightly sliced into the bubbles with a sharp knife.

I didn't remove the thin, loose plastic flap.

A drop of medium CA was set on scrap cardboard. Some glue was picked up and rubbed in using a toothpick allowing the glue to get underneath and into the bubble.

The surface was pressed and rubbed smooth.

The glued  area was sanded with some old 400 grit followed by 1200 grit to smooth.
