Finally shot some color!

After (4) coats of gray primer and (1) coat of white primer to help fill the roughness of the booster fin can and interstage, and with a steel wool buffing in between each coat, I've finally shot the fin can, interstage unit, and rear engine retainer cap with Testor MM #1911 flat olive drab.

It's not too bad. Some of the printing "lines" are still visible but I'll live with them. It's not a museum piece.

As for the PNC and sustainer fin units, I'll take those to Birmingham, AL with me this week along with assorted sandpaper pieces and my Swiss files and work on smoothing them out in the evenings.
