Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 5, Those Conduits (Tunnels)

Here's how the instructions have you cut and separate the wood conduits.

A difficult task, cutting at an angle using a strait edge and knife.

I cut the first tunnel out, then changed my method.

After trying to sand the sides at an angle, the first conduit didn't seem wide enough for smooth transition meeting against the molded plastic conduit ends.

I ran a pencil down the trenches. I cut the tunnels apart setting the blade centered between the two pencil lines.

On the left is the tunnel end showing the sides extension.

On the left is the before and after. A sanding block with 220 grit smoothed out the sides. Follow with 400 grit.
