I just noticed the title is wrong, sheesh! Scott could you please fix the title to "K41"?
Anyhow, the K-41 build continues at a glacial pace. Finished sealing the fins with Aero-Gloss sanding sealer, I lost count but applied probably 5-6 coats with 320 grit sanding after the first couple coats, then 400 grit sanding between coats.
The NC was pretty beat-up, so the exposed section below the shroud took 3 rounds of squadron white/green putty, followed by 3 coats of aero-gloss and 400 grit sanding. There are only 2 parts of the NC that are exposed when done, the area just above the shoulder, and the very top, which I simply brush painted with Testors.
Lastly, I coated the card stock shroud sheet with 3 coats of Krylon UV Crystal Clear Gloss. It's fairly yellowed, but I'm hoping the yellow doesn't show much once the pieces are cut out.
