There are a lot of fins glued to the nose section!
In order to fit over the angled adapter -
The overhanging root edge is sanded at a slight angle. This is where the aluminum sanding block comes in handy. It doesn't take much sanding for a tight fit. Sand a bit and check, then repeat.
TIP: I'd recommend filling the adapter/tube, tube /nose cone joints before gluing on the fins and tunnels. I didn't and had a hard time filling the balsa and tube joint after the fins and tunnels were glued on.
Here's the upper section with eight small fins in place.
