Photos

Arrived in great shape.

The required parts shot. Everything's accounted for and in great shape!
The card stock shows alot of grey, where the web photo above shows no grey (ie cockpit).

3 thick layers of filler primer

Tweaked the outer tube to fit fins flush against body tube

Only used half of the forward vanes.

Made a new painting platform for all the parts!

Pre-painted most all parts. Test fitting/checking out the cool look!
Red parts were primed, then painted w Valspar "Cut Ruby". White parts have Krylon Maxx Paint + Primer ~ 3 coats.
(Took Decals to Home Depot to Match Paint!)

Semroc baffle w 500# Kevlar, 1/4" braided elastic. And Frank!

Had to use a little coercion to get a grill to lay down!

A few decals look pretty good by themselves!

Decals on, ready for some protection!

Finished 1/15/2017. 4.99 oz! Includes 3 full bars of clay weight.
