Estes Gemini Titan #1978 Build, Part 4, Plastic Tunnels





The tunnels are glued on 1 1/4" from the launch lug line. This centers the tunnels between the two fins to the right of the launch lug.

The tunnels are a little warped. Light finger bending got them back to a straighter line.

The tunnels are already contoured to fit the body tube.


The tunnels didn't fit the tube well, there was small molding "nubs" on the underside.
Some quick sanding over 400 grit wrapped around an engine casing smoothed them off.
