Dr. Zooch Saturn V Build Step 7 Apollo Spacecraft Wraps

I've already primed, sanded and painted the LES dowel.
For no real reason, I decided to glue on the Boost Protective Cover wrap first.

Much like the adapter wrap in Step 4, the fit was a little off. The instructions tell you there will be a little sanding needed for the low end to match up.

While holding the wrap in place, a pencil line was drawn around the low end.
With 220 grit on a block, the balsa and some of the painted area was sanded down.

To square up the rough edge, I used the end of a motor mount tube.

The tube was slit for a tighter fit.
It was held tight around the body tube and the edge turned against the white paint lip.

This pressed back the balsa and paint giving a sharp straight edge for the wrap to butt up against.

Even with the extra prep, the wrap was still a little tall.
I may make a disk out of card stock so the service module has something to glue onto.

You could just trim and sand the wrap flat with the top, but I don't want it short or lose any of the wrap detail.
