Estes Mini Mars Lander Build #0881, Part 8, Primer and Leg Gluing

The engine mount is glued in, the nose cone slid in place for a shot of Duplicolor Filler/Primer.






After sanding, the filler/primer was sanded down to the tube surface on the fin lines.

The pencil lines were re-drawn. Notice the lines are extended around the back end and on the lower centering ring.






All four leg assemblies are glued in place.

On the left side, the leg housing sides tend to bow out.
Before gluing, lightly bend the housing side so it will end up in a straight line. Gluing the sides on is covered in the next post.

These leg housings weren't cut with right and left side pieces. Each pair should have been cut as a mirror image. You are not able to glue the rough side to the center where it won't be seen.
