I'm debating whether or not I want to make the effort to fill the spiral seams in my BT's on the Estes sport models I've been building recently.
They're not being built to sit on display for hundreds of onlookers a mere few feet away, they're being built to fly! But... I do intend to finish them to look like the face-cards in the packaging so that someone who might be interested in taking up the hobby can recognize a model when they go looking at the LHS or other online retailer to buy one for themselves. The exception would be for scale models of course, which I may want to enter in a competition with. In that case, seams would certainly get filled.
That said, where do you stand? Do you fill seams on sport models? On all models, regardless?
