Estes Monarch Build, #7214, Part 7, Nose Cone Seam



This kit had a definite stepped seam on both sides of the nose cone.

Before filling the low side, sand the high sides down a bit using a sanding block.
To fill in the remaining recess, some medium CA glue was run as a long bead down the seam. 
The wet glue can run so only do one side and let dry. The CA glue bead on the surface can take some time to dry.

Sand to surface with 400 grit on a block.




The small, thin shock cord tie ring in the nose cone shoulder are prone to breaking. 
The tie down ring was cut off. A hole was drilled for the shock cord attachment.
