Estes Black Star Voyager Build, Part 7, Gluing On The Upper Tube Assemblies

 

The glue spacing between the assemblies is set using the vanes between the segments. No glue on the vanes yet.

These are the larger vanes between the two low tube/ring assemblies.

Here's the middle tube/ring segment in place.

Apply a thin glue fillet to the upper open joint. After this glue dries, slide out the lower vanes and apply a thin fillet to the lower joint.

NOTE: I mentioned a thin fillet. A large fillet could interfere with the fit of the vane corners.

The smaller vanes are used to space the upper segment.

Here's where the highest ring will end up below and inside the upper assembly.

You can apply a interior glue fillet using drops of glue applied with a Q-tip.
