I might need an extra 3/8" for the upper section parachute compartment.
A single 5/20 centering ring goes outside the lower BT-5 tube and is visible on the finished model.
On the left is the ring right out of the bag.
To start, sand the sides flat on a block with 220 grit sandpaper.
Rub some wood glue into both sides and let it dry.
Sand the dried glue sides with 400 grit. The glue will seal the flat sides so the paint won't soak in. You'll end up with a glossier, smoother finish on the top and bottom surfaces.
The seam on the outside of the ring was filled with some CWF and smooth sanding.
