Default Sanding and Sanding and Sanding and Sanding...

I finally got around to filling and sanding my Orbital Transport. It's been sitting for a year or more. The booster is one pain in the butt to sand after being assembled. Lots of nooks and crannies you can't get to with your fingers. I don't like sanding with utensils, because I want to feel what's going on with my fingers. The bird is now primed and I've got to make myself sit down and sand again.

It would have been so much easier to fill and sand the parts before gluing them together, but I've always had bad warpage when doing it that way.

More sanding to do...I've promised myself that I have to fill, sand, and paint a built rocket for every new kit or scratchbuilt project I start. I have a bunch of naked rockets sitting around waiting for me to keep my promise.
