True Modeler's Rocket Kits NASA Scout Build, Part 14, Tying It All Together

A line of glue was set inside the body tube and the mount slid in place.
The instructions say that the rear ring should be flush with the end of the body tube, but pictures of the LTV Scout show the rear plate slightly recessed. This allows you to add a glue fillet in the centering ring/body tube joint. This engine mount bond has to be strong, the engine is a friction fit.

The snap swivel was very small and replaced with a larger one.

The 1/8" wide elastic shock cord was too short at only 15" long. I replaced it with some long 1/4 rubber. A short shock cord would allow the upper and lower sections to hit each other on descent.

The shroud lines easily broke with a pull. Those were replaced with all cotton embroidery thread.

The black nylon parachute was a nice bonus, not your usual plastic sheet parachute.








The balsa adapter turned out fine.

The small card stock adapter was a different story. Even after putting in the extra time, the fit and joint weren't great.
