Easy to build. A challenge to finish. I used white

Easy to build. A challenge to finish. I used white primer, then gloss white. I hand painted the red but it did nit adhere to the gloss white. Soooo, I removed the red with painters tape(most came right off) and sanded the areas that were yellow and red. I used brush on Testors gloss red and gloss yellow. I came out really nice. The self stick decals are a challenge to get on perfectly. After I completed the rocket, I saw a video from Apogee Rockets showing how to dip the self stick decals into some water with a little dish soap in it. I will try that next time. The rocket came out looking really sweet and is a nice item for my Estes scale collection.
