Carded Downscale Black Brant VB, Part 11 - Fin & Lug Gluing

The fins and launch lug are ready for gluing on the body.

I built this model in Mexico last June.
In order to get it home without damage, I'll only tack the fins on with very little white glue, no fillets yet. 
After the finished pictures are taken the fins will be cut off for the flight home, then glued on again.

Sand down the lug wrap seam for a better bond.
You'll hide the roughened area in a fin joint. Nobody will ever see it.

The fins were glued onto the printed lines on the tube wrap.
The lug glued next to a fin over the body tube wrap seam.
I know - The end of the lug could be trimmed at an angle to match the leading edge of the fin. 1/8" lugs on BT-5 models stick out like a sore thumb.

NOTE: The final PDF art included some changes not seen in the build pictures. The actual Black Brant VB had a smaller diameter body towards the low end of the rocket. This recess is now drawn and shaded on the available PDF to Patreon supporters.
