Estes Airborne Surveillance Missile Build, #0867, Part 4, Tube Filling & Marking Guides


The tube seams were filled with CWF and sanded to surface.
The tube on the left is the lower BT-5, it is flipped over. 
Just the lower end is exposed and needs a shot of filler/primer.

The picture on the right shows the filler/primer after sanding. The upper white side of the BT-5 tube will have the centering rings glued on.





Twelve fins! You wouldn't want to misplace any of them, especially the small ones.
Keep them in a zip-lock bag until you need to glue them on the body tube.






There are two sets of instructions.

TIP: Don't cut up the instructions (that are in English) to get a tube marking guide. Cut up the extra set of instructions and your set of English instructions will stay complete.
