Sport Scale Detailing Notes

Well, Megalaunch went off last weekend with hardly a hitch! Therefore, I can now show you Sam Barone's very cool V-2 and give you the notes that he sent me. He used Rockets of the World to add details to the model. He would have done much better in the competition, but he was unable to come Sunday to fly.


A wee paper cap to get a pointy-er V2 profile

Scribed lines around the nose to simulate the warhead and radio telemetry sections


A thin piece of trim tape to highlight the fin can joint


Scribed lines defining the fin tip ailerons the fin fairings housing the aileron gear and chain drive

I built up the fin filets with lightweight spackle and CA

Fly 'em fast and High!

  1. Thanks for the pub Stu. The V2 is such classic and not difficult to detail. That Block 2 now...
