59. To preserve the definition of the details which

are present on the rocket, apply primer in thin

coats and sand until the rocket is smooth and cov-

ered with a thin, uniform coat of primer. This can

take multiple coats to achieve.

60. Apply the primary paint to the rocket. To do so,

mask the part of the rocket for the required color

on that section, apply the paint, and allow the paint

to dry. Once the paint is dry enough to be han-

dled without being marked by touching, the mask

can be removed. Ensure that the paint has dried

completely between coats however, to prevent

damage to the surface of the paint from mask-

ing. Darker and more opaque colors can often be

layered on lighter colors to reduce the need for

masking. Included here is a schematic for a rather

general Black Brant VC paint scheme which may

not represent a specific prototype.

61. Using a fine-point paint brush, apply any paint

details that cannot be easily masked and painted

in bulk. The scale rail guides (which are silver) are

a good example of where this is useful. Allow the

paint to dry to completely before continuing.

62. Optional: Apply a gloss clear coat to the entire

model to prevent silvering of the decals applied

in the next step (the appearance of a gray rather

than clear background to the decals). First apply

a couple of mist coats which are allowed to dry for

5-10 minutes each, then apply a final heavier coat

that fully wets the surface of the model. Allow the

clear coat to dry entirely before continuing.
