Estes Saturn 1B, #7251 Build, Part 29, Scalloped Fairing & Centering Rings

I applied a small fillet and removed the excess with a Q-tip. You don't want the glue to get in the way of the centering ring position.

You can use a little more glue on the bottom ring. The scalloped fairing won't touch the inside joint glue.

The scalloped fairing is slide down from the top. 

I was concerned the fairing might scratch the white paint on the booster tubes, but there was no problems.

Slide all the way down to the bottom.

A centering ring is slid down the central tube and seats on the top of the booster tubes. 

Glue is applied. This will be covered by the overhang of the upper tube.

The final centering ring is slid on and fillets are applied to both sides. 

Build time:

Set Fairing, Glue Tubes & Rings: 20 minutes
