Transporter rebuild.

[Scotty Dog]

I found all the pieces parts to my XTF-18 transporter.
Seems I had disassembled it and started to finish the pigment prep.
So..
Mights well bring it back to life.
The XTF-18 is done.

The rocket in the last pic isn't the same one as in the first four, is it?

What kind of paint on the nose cone?

What kind of paint on the nose cone?

Original long time ago I pigmented it with Duplii-color inferno red met, faded to gloss black.
Then sprayed with Minwax clear lacquer while still tacky.
It got banged up some being packed away.
So the other night I sanded it lightly with 600 and dipped it in a can of clear polyurethane .
Came out good. Couple dustys got on it.

Got it in primer.
Couple inspirational pics .
Helps me to see what I see my head. ?
Not sure on motor mount(s) yet.
Never like the original one.
Flew it on 3 E9-6s a few times.
Great flights.
