Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 10, More Shroud Fitting



Here's the first dry fit of the shrouds.

Notice the joint between the two shrouds is a little off. 








You can reduce the high spots with a little sanding on a block.







This is what I was shooting for - a cleaner, tighter joint.







And check the launch lug slide and alignment before gluing up the shrouds.








This shows a little more glue than what was needed.

When the shrouds were slid together, I had to quickly remove the excess with a Q-tip.
