As much as I loved building and flying Big Bertha, as my first build in almost 50 years, the Citation Patriot was a lot of fun, came out better, and enabled me to work on some advanced skills. I used StickerShock 23 vinyl decals. I papered the fins. I used the Estes Fin Alignment Guide jig. The paint is enamel (yes, I know), And, the clear is Pledge Floor Gloss. Not perfect, but fort aa second build? I am thrilled with the results. One coat of Rustoleum in 1 sandable primer, which I sanded down to near nothingness, just enough to fill the spirals. But would definitely paper the fins again. Would I spring again for vinyl decals? Doubtful.
