Dr. Zooch Vanguard Eagle Build Part 32 Adapter Shroud


The Dr. Zooch shrouds always fit well.

Using my sharpie pen, I extended the printed black area slightly to insure black coverage at the seam.

According to the box illustration and the Vanguard Eagle website, the black and white color separations in the printed shroud line up with the booster fin positions.

After trying a dry fit (no glue) I decided not to glue the shroud tab together off the model. Instead I'll glue and join the shroud on the model.

Normally you would glue the shroud and let it dry, then slide it in place on the body tubes and centering ring. This was just a judgement call made on this individual model.

A thin white glue ring was run around the extended centering ring and top of the body tube.




Here's the shroud after coaxing it in place.
