Mars Snooper Build Part 18 Gluing The Forward Fins

The upper BT-20 tube was sprayed with primer and sanded.
After sanding to the tube surface, I could see the new mix ratio for filling the body tube seams is working well.
The tube was marked for three fins and the line run up the tube.
That line was then used as a guide and the primer was sanded off with 220 grit sandpaper for a better glue bond.
The line was redrawn again using my aluminum angle.


This is the upper tube assembly with the fins and fairings glued in place.

Before gluing in the nose cone and adapter, I'll check some classic catalog paint schemes and plan ahead for the colors.
