Space X Falcon Build Part 6 Launch Lug

The instructions would have you simply glue the launch lug on the cut recess on the body wrap.
I decided to cover the translucent lug with white paper.

The paper was cut slightly longer than the supplied lug and pre-curled with a dowel in my palm.

The paper was adhered with a glue stick. The overhanging edge is sanded off with 400 grit on a block.

Note there is a open area at the seam. This gives a little better gluing area against the curve of the body tube.
