WHILE ASSEMBLING THE ENGINE MOUNT I ATTACHED A LENGTH OF #100 KEVLAR TO IT TO SERVE AS A HEAT PROOF SHOCK CORD MOUNT.  THE KEVLAR DOES NOT EXTEND FORWARD OF THE BODY TUBE SO THERE'S NO DANGER OF ZIPPERING".  THE WINGS, AND STABILIZER HAVE MY USUAL TREATMENT OF (4) COATS OF SANDING SEALER AND ARE NEARLY GRAIN-FREE.  THE FINS AND 1/8" LAUNCH LUGS ARE  FILLETTED WITH EPOXY RESIN.  AFTER ASSEMBLING, SANDING, AND SEALING THE CRAFT I PAINTED IT WITH A COAT OF GRAY PRIMER, A COAT OF WHITE PRIMER, AND 2 COATS OF THE FINEST GLOSS WHITE AND GLOSS BLACK ENAMELS.  AFTER APPLYING THE "ACREAGE" OF WATERSLIDE DECALS AND SNUGGLING THEM WITH SOLVA-SET I BRUSHED THE MODEL WITH 2 COATS OF ACRYLIC FLOOR POLISH TO PROTECT THE DECALS AND TO EVEN OUT THE FINISH.  I DIDN'T ASSEMBLE THE 18" PARACHUTE INTO THE MODEL BUT IT IS OF COURSE INCLUDED.

THIS BEAUTIFUL ESTES CLASSIC HAS NEVER BEEN FLOWN, HAS NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE, HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED WITH, AND HAS BEEN HANDLED VERY LITTLE.
