Estes USS Enterprise #1275, Part 31, Fillets and Paint Prep

Back to the Enterprise! 

I've had a break from the frustrating Enterprise build. That, and the Arcas paint is drying.

I actually got a good fit of the pylon braces in the tube slots. There is still a seam gap though.

Wood glue fillets will fill any gaps.

More glue fillets followed where the supports met the vacu-formed secondary hull halves.

A dowel with an engine casing was glued into a dowel for a painting wand.

The front coupler was taped off to keep out paint. 

Onto the white undercoats - fingers crossed!
