The New Way kit parachutes use (no-tear) Tyvek ring labels for shroud line attachment.
There are holes punched into the corners of the parachutes for the reinforcement tab locations.
Center the round side under the punched hole.
The white parachute is 9 1/2" from "flat" to "flat". It seems a little small, I would rather have a 12" diameter chute on a model this size and weight.
Fold the other side of the "dumbbell'" shaped reinforcement directly over the round end under the chute corner.
This leaves a fold just outside the corner of the parachute to tie on shroud lines.
After a first coat of CWF and sanding -
The wings, fins and launch lugs were taped to some cardboard for spraying with the filler/primer.
The New Way nose cones are very smooth for a 3D print.
After sanding down the filler/primer, you can see how little was left in the very slight layer ridges.
3D printing has come a long way!
