Quest Striker AGM Build, Part 4, Nose Cone Assembly

The fit of the nose cone halves isn't the best, the MPC molds are old.

To help the fit, I sanded the side that doesn't have the raised alignment posts.

I didn't apply plastic cement until after the sides were rubber banded and aligned.

The great thing about liquid plastic cement is you can apply it from the outside, right down the joint seam. The liquid glue doesn't distort or melt the plastic like the old tube cement could.

You might see some slight residue after the glue dries but it is easily sanded off.

I did try some old, dried up Squadron Putty, but even with acetone added it was still pretty crusty. That's the gray you see, left in the sanded joint.

I ended up using a bead of medium CA on any low areas. That was sanded to surface filling the gaps.
