Odd'l Rockets F-104 Starfighter Build, Part 8, Intake Gluing

The back of the intakes are to be glued 2 1/2" from the rear of the tube.
Position and hold the intakes as you trace around them with a pencil.

I scraped off the primer inside the pencil line. 






Before gluing the edges of the intake, form them to a rounder shape if needed. They do tend to flatten out a little when sanding to the body tube contour.







A line of glue is place on the inside of the intake edges. Lay down a glue bead more to the inside of the intake, not directly on the edge.






In the upper picture the intake is a little flat and too close to the nose cone half.



Pinch the sides of the intake to even up the spacing around the nose cone half.
