Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 17, Red Vernier Covers

This is a tall rocket.

Long models are difficult to spray evenly. It's easier to paint in two segments.   

I mentioned the red dot Vernier Covers in an earlier post.

There is plenty of Cricut vinyl left over from the red trim on the Skylab build.

I pulled out one of my more valuable tools, the rotary punch.

Small red dots were punched.

My rotary tool isn't as sharp as it once was. Still good for notching centering rings, but it took quite a few punches in the vinyl to get four near perfect round dots.

The results were much better than I could ever paint by hand.

This picture shows how many punches were made to get four useable dots.

I can't figure out why Estes didn't include these in the kit. There is already some red on the decal sheet.
