Estes Puma #7256 Build, Part 2, Wing Engine Sub Assembly

I don't know what to call these so they'll just be named "engines" for the purpose of the blog build.
There are two, on the left are the parts for one engine.

Look close and you can see some CWF filler already brushed on. These areas are the interior surfaces that can be seen when the model is finished. There would be no way to fill the grain once is it all glued up.




On the left is how the top and bottom pieces were glued.

The center front and one side is glued in on the right.







Like the built up intakes on the QCC Explorer, there were some gaps in the tab areas.

I cut a thin slice off the balsa sheet and glued it into the gap.



The fill pieces were cut of. There were eight shims on each engine.
