That?s a Semroc 1:70 Saturn 1B in the background. Another great Semroc kit (sadly, from the past). |
Hi Lee, Curious on if you paint the fins first and tape off, or after you paint the body and tape it off. I have been doing the later. I also have a Semroc 1b in process. Great kit, except the paper capsule. NOT a fan of that. I have a 2 extra incase it goes poorly.
