TLP Pershing #K046 Build, Part 5 Upper Fin Frames



I cut some 110 lb. card stock a little oversize.
This shows the larger creased overlay skin set over the original kit card stock.



Instead of gluing on the skin with white glue, a glue stick was used.
I was concerned about the white glue shrinking and the card stock being pulled into the open area towards the top.



The first half of the skin was pressed into place.
There is some card stock overhanging the balsa frame.
It'll be removed after the glue dries.



The sides were pressed into the glued frame with the back end of a burnisher.
The fins were set under some angled flat weight to thoroughly dry.
