Estes Strikefighter, Kit #2015, Build, Part 8, The Scoop




The sides are glued onto the curved back piece.

Note the inside glue fillets.


The top is cut out from 120 lb. cardstock. It was cut a little oversize on purpose.

I pre-curled it by rolling a Sharpie barrel over the cardstock into the heel of my hand. 

Notice the overhang over the sides.
 

To seal and harden the overhang, some medium CA was wiped on using a Q-tip. This makes it hard enough to sand even with the face of the sides.

Filler/primer followed and smooth sanding.
