After all the prep and paint -
The laser cut box lines were longer than all the antenna pieces!
These low end lines will be visible.
I had to go back and and fill the low end. Damn.
CWF, paint, sand and a last shot of white.
The yellow antennas were set next to the top of the peeled slots.
The new back end length was scored with a knife.
The scored box was peeled up and lifted out.
This leaves a slight recess for the antenna root edge to glue into. It's a stronger bond over a flat glued surface.
Here's the finished antenna assembly.
I still have to add a small (clear) white glue fillet to clean up the edges.
As it turns out, the width of the laser line box was a little wider than the yellow antennas.
