Estes Saturn V Tips - Shims Tips

The large transition wrap is hard to fit on top of the paper shroud underneath. No matter how I wrapped it the wide bottom wouldn't hug the low end.

In the picture you are actually looking at the inside of the wrap. The shadows make it look like the outside top.
I traced around the shroud edge and cut a strip from card stock. This was glued around the inside lower circumference.
Now the wrap fits and both edges meet. 





The instructions have you glue some leftover vacuform plastic under the larger rectangular tunnel. While the instructions say to cut a piece 2 1/2" long my shim piece ended up being 2 13/16" long to fill the area between the two wraps.

One thickness of the vacuform plastic wasn't thick enough and left a gap. I used two thicknesses of the plastic.
