Always a favorite part of a build is the dry fit.
The models always look different in person.
Smooth one half side then do the other side. Go from the center to the end of the fin strake.
If you were to apply glue all the way down the root edge of this long strake, too much glue would pool up on your finger before you got to the end. The fillet would get wider at the end of the glue swipe.
Applying fillets on half the fin keep the amount of glue manageable.
The ends of the fin covers are open at the ends.
I decided to fill the edges with CWF.
The fin on the left hasn't been filled, the fin on the right is filled and ready for sanding.
Titebond Molding and Trim Glue fillets were applied on both sides of the launch lug.
At the ends the excess glue was rolled off with a tapered Q-tip.
