Estes Asteroid Hunter #3224 Build, Part 18, More Fills & Launch Lug Alignment

After fitting the Q piece back, the front end needed filling. 

More CWF and sanding!

Here's one of the two front launch lugs.

I traced around them and scraped away the paint before gluing the lugs in place with Fabri-Tac glue.

The rear lugs were also traced and the paint scraped off inside the pencil outline.

These were also glued on with Fabri-Tac.

Notice the tab that overlaps the back. 

Before the glue sets, double check the alignment of the front and rear lugs with a launch rod.

This design has guns that slip into the front lug holes when the model is on display.

Look close at the fillet areas on the sides of the Q pieces.

These took two passes of white spray and sanding after the paint dried.
