I sprayed the bottom gun/antenna toothpick with primer/filler before gluing onto the model. It would be hard to get a smooth finish on the underside without pre-priming the part.
After the primer/filler dried it was sanded smooth with 400 grit.
The launch lug goes on halfway on the body tube and carries over onto the side of the small underside fin. I only glued the half that will contact the body tube. Getting glue fillets on both sides of the lug would be hard to do.
On the left shows a glue line on the lower fin.
This is after smoothing out the fillet by removing some excess glue.
The paint on the back side of the antenna was scraped off for better adhesion.
The antenna glued in position.
