Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 5 Wraps Part 2


When rolling on wrap D, slide the adapter in place to be sure it is in line.
Just be careful not to glue the adapter into the main body!

This is my second Zooch Saturn V build. On this build, the large adapter wrap had a bit of a ledge over the BT-60 tube. Not a big deal just a little thick.


Here I'm gluing on the "F" wrap.
A clean dowel is used to roll it on.

I tend to line up the edge on the pencil line and lightly roll the wrap around.
I'll go back and roll the dowel over the wrap from the center to the seam edge.

This helps get rid of any air bubbles or loose edges.

On the F wrap, I set it a little high onto the edge of the balsa adapter.
The printed edge of the wrap helped define the edge and color separation at the adapter shoulder.


It's easy to get the wraps flipped upside down.

Before setting down a wrap, double check its top and bottom against the instruction sheet, especially when gluing on the B and D wraps.
There are small squares and hatches that should indicate the top and bottom of the wraps.






Now the model is shaping up and looking like the Saturn V.
