The nose cone tie lug is thin. Instead of cutting out the center square, I rounded the hole using a rat tail diamond file.
The fins were already filled with CWF and sanded. I thought they were like the Starship Nova and had square edges. Good thing I double checked the instructions - the leading and trailing edges were rounded!
I went back, rounded the correct fin edges and filled the fins with CWF again.
The fins were taped down to some cardboard and sprayed with primer/filler. The launch lug is also getting a shot of primer/filler.
The root edges of the wings are butted up against each other to keep the primer/filler off the root edges.
The same pieces after most all the primer/filler has been sanded off. The only primer/filler left is in the remaining balsa grain.
