Mars Snooper Build Part 24 Pods

The pods were sprayed with primer off the model.
I'm holding onto the nose cone tip, my hand is inside a grocery bag.

The back half of the pod was sprayed. After it dried, the sharp side was sprayed.


After it dried, the primer was sanded.

The pod was set against the fin and marked for the trailing edge position. The trailing edge is glued about 1/2" from the bottom of the Bt-5 pod tube.

Using 220 grit on a block, this gluing line was sanded off, to about 1/16" on either side of the line. The line was re-drawn again for gluing.



From the rear, this is the pod glued on the fin.

For easier alignment, extend the lines beyond the tick marks.
You wouldn't be able to glue the pods on straight if your alignment line was totally covered up by the fin.
