Estes Mini Arcas, #2441, Part 18, Launch Lugs

I didn't glue on the lugs before painting the rocket body. 

I thought they would be in the way of the complex mask.

Sometimes I skip the launch lug fillets. Bubbles are a pain!  

     

I wish the lug placement were different. I would prefer the the ARCAS name decal not in line with the launch lugs. 

The lug glue areas were scraped down to the body tube. Don't scrape too wide, you'll want the lug to cover where the paint was taken off.

The glue line on the small lugs is thin and even down its length.

Set down the glue line and even the line with a fingertip. Use white glue because it dries clear.

Both lugs are glued in place. 

Even without a glue fillet, they aren't going anywhere.
