Estes Cosmic Interceptor Build, Part 12, Intake Vanes Fit




Here's the laser cut intake vane cardstock.
The pieces aren't marked, they vary slightly in size and length.







The picture on the right side shows a dry fit. 

The long pieces are too loose when set in into the AA and BB part notches.

 
I like to seal the exposed edges with glue and sanding. It makes a big difference on the finished model.

The area below the pencil line is what will be exposed.

The right side pic shows a round bead of glue after removing the excess. There is only glue on the edge, not on the sides. The glue in the picture is already half dried.

Sanding with 400 grit smooths out any irregularities.
