Start with smaller diameter drills and work up to the 1/4" diameter needed.
I simply finger twisted the drill working it into the body tube.
Don't worry about the rough edges.
Push them to the center -
Round out the holes and push the rough fibers into the hole with a sharpened dowel.
Set the dowel in the hole and twist.
Don't enlarge the hole beyond that 1/4" diameter. Check the fit of the docking collar and try for a friction fit.
The docking collars were glued in the holes using Fabri-Tac.
This is turning out to be a very detailed model.
