Estes USS Enterprise #1275, Part 13, Pylon Brace Gluing




A quick update after my dog Dakota's first camping trip - 
She did great! Lots of new smells on the hiking trails. Met a few people and slept through the night on her dog bed from home. 
Didn't bark once - until she got home.
    

The instruction drawing shows the interior brace contacting the tube at the 3 and 9 o'clock positions.

My brace position ended up lower inside the tube.
You can see some glue reflection inside.





I used a glue bead on a Q-tip to reach inside and apply fillets.







The corner of a CD case was used to check the right angle of the pylon brace on the tube.
