MPC Taurus - 1 Build Part 2 Parts Prep



Here's extra "parts" many never noticed in the MPC Minirocs kits.

Molded into the sides of the blister packaging are small nozzles and canopies. The inset picture shows the vacu-formed corrugation on the bottom of the package.




Back to the parts prep:
The base of the nose cone shoulder was as wide as the outside diameter of the body tube!
After a bit of sanding the fit of the nose cone was where it should have been.



After the shoulder was shaped to fit in the tube, the nose cone base was a "muffin top" over the body tube top.

The overhang was sanded off  with 400 grit on a block.
