The engine turbine is painted Testor Metalizer Steel and masked with a Post-It Note cut with the aid of a Olfa Circle Cutter.

The intake ducting is then sprayed white and the paper disk removed to reveal a perfect demarcation for an otherwise tricky paint job.

The assembled intake ducting and cockpit are fitted. Nose weight is essential - in this case lead sinkers mounted in Blu-Tack

Taking no chances! The fuselage is taped and clamped while the glue dries.
