I won't be covering how to shape the wedged fins in this build. I've written about that many times before. Sanding a wedge shape isn't hard to do with time and a good sanding block.
Both the body tube and fins got sprayed with primer/filler and sanded smooth.
The paint was sanded away where the fins will glue on.
The instructions show a launch lug glued onto the body side. The problem is the widened base of the capsule.
In the picture you can see how a launch rod would rub against the capsule base.
Here's the lug and standoff in place. It is in line with the engine hook.
