After the two launch lugs were glued in place, both got Titebond M&TG fillets.
Look close at the upper section.
There is a ring where the dried glue shrunk and pulled in the body tube.
It's subtle and won't show up when the white color coat goes on.
The fin placement lines were penciled on then the primer areas sanded for a better bond. I just had to sand until the white tube showed through.
The fin lines were extended around onto the back edge of the tube.
These fins overhang the rear of the tube by 5/8".
I didn't seal the root and didn't want a rough exposed edge.
One quick fix is to lay a bead of white glue and let it dry.
Sand the glued end bead with 400 grit before gluing the fins on the body tube.
