The other thing on my Vostok, as I plan to make it a flying model only, I will probably glue in the motor mount and base plate instead of allowing it to interchange with the static base. I am also contemplating painting it all green, with no white "frost". This would mean no need for the vostok space craft inside the nose, as I would end up painting the clear plastic as well.

I was surprised Quest was out of the tubing.
BMS will set you up with tubes.
I glued the Vostok capsule pieces inside the nose halves - along with the lead weight.
(I'm building the original MPC kit, not the reissue)
The lead weight weighed in at .18 oz.
You should add the equivalent clay (or whatever you prefer) weight to the nose.
If you don't glue in all the detail pieces inside the two nose halves, you should add their weight in addition to the .18 oz.
I have a feeling this one needs the nose weight. |
