Estes Apollo Little Joe II Build, Part 25, A Slow Up!



I am getting to the painting!
The tower skirt and nozzles are painted black.
I did a simple mask over the glue areas.
Now the problem!!! It's Summer here and it is very humid.

Sprayed balsa and tubing tends to dry in a day or so.
Plastic is anther story. These spray painted parts stayed sticky for days! I can't slightly sand the base coats until it is dry to the touch.
This could slow down assembly and the blog posts.

Madcow Bomarc Finishing Break

I assembled the Madcow Bomarc three months ago when I was drawing up the instructions.
Finishing got as far as a white undercoat and some smooth sanding.
In Florida we've had rain every afternoon so I haven't been able to paint.

We'll finish it up soon!
