MPC Red Giant Build, Part 4, Fins and Adapter

The stick-on fin decor is best done off the model where it's easier to line them up.

The inset picture shows vertical pencil lines to help line up the RG-1 sticker. The pencil line on the right lines up the root edge of the fin, The line to the left lines up the left side of the sticker.

The fins are slipped into the fin can slots dry - no glue yet.

A drop of thin CA is set on the back and runs inside the root edge.
(That drop of CA in the picture is pretty big, use a smaller amount of glue. The drop grew too large as I was trying to get the picture.)

The wider end of the black adapter was loose in the lower tube.
The narrower top was too tight in the upper tube. The edges were rounded off and the fit was then about right for gluing.
