When I feeled satisfied with my job, I covered it with liquid putty and, once dry, I sanded it smooth.
My master was ready, but there was a problem: this tank is nearly 65 mm in lenght and I thought it was too long for a single print, therefore I I cut my master in two an I made two silicon moulds, one for the front half the other for the rear that finally were glued together.

Next step was to glue the fins and paint them, unfortunately I lost the relevent pictures as well!

Then I dedicated some time to details like the main rotor where I added those cables running on the top, and the cannon.
The rotor was the last part I looked after before going to the hospital for heart surgery on February 8. I was back home after a month.
