TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 17, More Primer Sanding on the Shroud


Here's the big shroud after the first primer sand.
From the top down you can see the white centering rings.

The ring below the beige filler is the area of most concern. That's the one you could possibly sand through. Just be aware of that area and be careful when sanding around it.



Lightly depress the seams to make sure all are glued down.
I found two areas where the seams opened up.

Some white glue was sneaked under the crack and spread with a X-Acto knife blade.
The inset picture shows the seam burnished down with the back end of a Sharpie.
This will require another coat of filler/primer and sanding.



A small horizontal crack showed up after the first white coat.
Glue was slid under with the tip of a knife blade as before.
The glued crack was lightly sanded and another primer/filler coat followed.
The inset picture shows the shroud after sanding the second primer/filler coat.
