TIP: Keep small parts in bags until they are ready for gluing on the model.
Anything that can fall on the floor or roll off your work table.
In this bag are four antennas (one extra) and the short 1/2" long launch lugs.
Just to check it, I wrapped the fin marking guide around the BT-55 main body tube. It was off by about 1/16".
Even without the nearly sanded off primer/filler, the fins would be a bit off using this guide .
I ended up using another marking guide.
That small filler piece was formed even more. The sides were rounded to fit the curve of the slot running around the tail cone.
Some of the wood glue fillet ran into the slot.
Wood glue fillets (followed by Titebond No Run - No Drip) were used above the white tail cone.
Beacon Fabri-Tac was used on the rear of the fin where it contacts the tail cone. Fabri-Tac fillets followed.
