The Upper Engine Pod Supports are two pieces of laminated card stock.
Glue three sets of two pieces.
Before the glue sets up, Check the alignment of the pieces against the body tube. I'm not gluing the pieces onto the tube, just pressing down making sure both pieces are in line.
The visible sides (not the curved top and bottom that will be glued to the body tubes) got a wipe of CA glue, applied with a Q-tip.
After it dried, the sides were smoothed with 400 grit.
TIP: To cover the side seam and rough edge, a bead of wood glue was set evenly over the edges and allowed to dry. Round it out with a fingertip, pulling the glue to the edges.
Lightly sand after the glue dries.
This will give a smooth, round visible edge on the finished model.
