v2 update

Post by danb »

i managed to get the v2 painted today the weather was perfect nice and warm for the paint to harden, i decided to use the test paint scheme that von brawn used in the early flight stages the white and black chequer pattern was to determin if the rocket would spin in lift off as you all probably know already so heres some pics

Do you have any problems with the paint cracking or flaking off the rocket when you put pressure in it?
