Estes Klingon Battle Cruiser, #1274, Build Part 8, Balsa Filling

I'm building two Klingon models at the same time. There is a LOT of balsa to fill.

First up are the small detail pieces that go under the primary hull.
Masking tape was set down sticky side up. The four pieces were stuck down to the tape. It's just easier doing it this way than trying to hold onto the small pieces.

The wings are pretty large.
The left side shows the large wing piece with only one side coated with CWF. There is warping but the camera did over distort the bend.
The inset picture it the same piece after the other side got a coat of CWF and dried. The warp is almost gone.
I didn't dry this under a weight, it dried in the open air.

Here's another fin. You can see the grain on the right side.
If any piece would have warped, this is the one.

Many builder's panic when they see the balsa warping with CWF on just one side. Paint the other side and most all of the warp will go away.
