Estes Little Joe II (Small) Build, Part 15, Trim and Fin Fillets



The tunnel covers go on last.
These are very small. To apply the glue, I held them down using the tip of my knife.l They were picked up with tweezers and pressed in place on the body.



Here's how they look in place. Fins are next.

I hope all that black ink (placement lines) will be covered by the silver paint!
Looking ahead -
The instructions saw to use a toothpick to apply  the glue fillets. Huh? I would assume the fillets are at a minimum, keeping the root edge joint sharp.

I'll probably do one application of yellow glue fillets, not Titebond M&TG. They'll dry, shrink and be small enough.
