Estes Leo Space Train #7285 Build, Part 6, Gluing Up The Wings






The three wing pieces were glued together after initial filling. (The pictures 1 & 2 shows a test fit before the CWF was applied.)





Do a test fit of the "I" and "J" pieces to check the width when set over the wing center.

GOTCHA: Look close - I had to add a shim to get the "J" piece to the correct width so the sides of the "I" pieces would match the right width.


The DADO joint didn't seem like it was cut deep enough for a good match and fill.



I used a file to deepen the notches slightly, square up the laser cuts and remove any CWF (filler) that might effect the fit.
