Enerjet News, Mercury Little Joe I, Part 7, Wraps





Two card stock wraps are added to simulate sheet metal wraps. That's what the instructions say anyway.

Strips were cut and rolled around the body tube.



The start and finish of the wraps were started over where the launch lug will be placed. This way, any seam joint won't show when the model is on the launcher.








Here's how the wraps came out.

The engine mount isn't glued in place until after the tube and fin are painted.








The inside ends of the wooden golf tees were rough. the centers were filled with CWF and sanded smooth.
