Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 15, White Paint & Planning Ahead


The conduit fillets show up when the white undercoats are sprayed.
Wood glue fillets can be sanded, just be careful not to sand into the wood.
It doesn't look good now, but a few more white sprayings should cover things up.




Some of the tunnel joints were close, these were open, but no more open than the body tube/adapter joint.
I probably could fill these joints, but won't this time around.
Looking ahead - 
The heat shield will be painted black, masked off using Scotch tape cut in an arc.

Paint the vernier covers red? 
That would be difficult, they are only slightly raised.







I could use a decal sheet for four small red dots, or - 
Punch some red vinyl using my rotary punch. 

This red vinyl is left over from the Skylab build.
