Centuri Flying Saucer #5325, Part 10, Trim Pieces & L Brace Gluing

The fit of the minor shroud was very good. It covers the cogs on the inside of the large ring.

The three L braces also needed some trimming on the outside edge to fit between the core tube and engine mount tube.

It's difficult to get the l braces in place without making a glue mess - try gluing the outside edge first - then glue the root edge to the motor mount tube, explained below:

The outside edge of the L brace is glued to the interior ring first (one side) and allowed to dry. This makes a glue "hinge" to swing the root edge away from the motor tube pencil line.
On the left you can see the faint pencil gluing line. The picture on the right are some small glue dots. Notice the root edge of the L piece is turned away (hinged) from the glue. After the glue dots are applied to the pencil line, swing the L brace and slide it into the glue. Wipe off excess glue and glue fillet both sides of the joint later.

The bottom detail strips were placed using a glue stick.




These fit along the bottom edge of the core tube.
The hatch is centered in the gap between the cutouts. It was also too tall and needed trimming to fit.
