Now that the body paint is finished, the engine mount is glued in place.
Because the body tube is so short, I'll set the mount in the tube dry and add glue afterwards.
This'll give me the chance align the engine hook centered between two fins.
I went ahead and blackened the back of the main tube interior with a Sharpie pen. After gluing the mount in place, the entire end of the model will be black.
From the front end I added the fillet after the mount was dry fitted.
I added glue drop by drop, making the fillet with a rounded dowel. Any excess glue was picked up off the centering ring with a square dowel.
