18 decals down, 40+ to go! I've been working on an Estes Interceptor-E for awhile. It's been so cold I've had a hard time priming and painting this Winter. I was able to get the nose cone completed since I could dash outside occasionally for a minute to paint.
I decided not to go with white paint. Instead, this one is Flat Light Aircraft Gray. I clear coated with Krylon UV-Resistant Acrylic Clear, in gloss, for a good decal base. Then top coated with their Matte Clear to restore the flat look. I also used Microscale's Decal Set and Micro Sol to get the decals to snuggle down nicely.
It was warm enough today to get the rest of this rocket clear coated, so decals will go on in a day or two.
