Again, taking a tip from the 1/45 "Tips and Tricks" I painted some of the parts before assembly. Taping and masking the upper body allowed me to primer and paint the silver bottom. I used Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer throughout.
I assembled the LES nozzles into the shroud piece then painted the whole thing black. I used the tips of toothpicks to mask the holes the tower will glue into. Makes clean up super simple.
edit: I shot this photo before I sanded the white primer on the LES motor tube, so there are fuzzies that came off later!
I was really pleased with my putty work around the fin/fairing joint!
Now for decals...
