Starlight Jayhawk Build Part 14 Flare Tube Fit

Here's the final fit of the flare tube at the front.

You can see I've got some paper rolled into the top to keep the gray primer out of the tube.

This is the back end. Notice the second rear piece of the flare tube is cut above the rear of the rocket by about 1/8".

On the real Jayhawk, the rear open end of the flare tube is higher and even with joint at the shroud. On this semi-scale model I made the decision not to bother with the change in the flare tube height.

I made plenty of white glue fillets down the entire length of the flare tube to fill and smooth any gaps.
