Estes Mini Bomarc Clone, Kit #TK-5, Part 5, CWF Sand & Filler Primer


The old Estes instructions don't mention it,
but I rounded the leading edges of the wing, stab and rudder.

I also rounded the leading edge of the nacelle support. You've got to be careful because of the balsa grain direction.




The balsa pieces were taped down to a piece of cardboard and shot with filler/primer.

Sanding follows.





On the left the nose cone is shown with the CWF applied.
I realized the nose cone was also used in the Estes Stinger (K-53) kit.

After sanding, the filler/primer was sprayed and sanded.





Here's the rudder and stabilizer after the filler/primer was sanded.

I tend to sand down more filler than others might.
The filler/primer soaks into the balsa a bit and still seals the surface if most is sanded off.
