I did not pay close enough attention to the painting details on the capsule prior to gluing the tower onto the capsule. I realize Estes kits provide zero guidance on painting sequence and I should have caught this. The capsule is black and the tower is red and you have to paint these prior to putting them together. No recovery from this error. I did locate the exact estes plastic capsule kit at a couple places (Kings Hobby and eRockets) but they are out of stock. Other option is to buy a new kit I suppose.![IMG_4568.jpeg IMG_4568.jpeg](https://cdn.imagearchive.com/rocketryforum/data/attachments/564/564239-817f715ea2e2d1ed304f404435eb70b6.jpg)
