ASP MMX Micro Corporal Build, Part 6, Tunnel & Launch Lug Gluing





You can still use the plastic angle to glue on two opposite long tunnels, or tunnels 1 and 3. After 1 & 3 are in place, the smaller 2 & 4 will be too close to use the angle reference. 







I used the Beacon Fabri-tac again. Some small beads of glue squeezed out and were carefully removed with a single edge razor blade.






This shows the pool of medium CA used for the "drag" fillets.

The Q-Tips are close at hand to quickly soak up any extra glue.




Here's the tunnel fillets being applied by dragging the CA toothpick down the fillet joint.

Evening out the CA glue and picking up any excess. Once CA glue hits the cotton tip the Q-Tip is thrown away. It quickly hardens and can't be used a second time.






The launch lug looks big on the model.
It is glue beside on of the smaller tunnels so the launch rod can easily slide through.
