Estes Super Mars Snooper #7309, Build Part 3, Fin Pods & Assembly Jig



After the CWF fill and sanded - The pods got a shot of Duplicolor filler/primer.
Sanding the sides you can see how the nose cone shoulder lips are still a little high. Gray filler/primer is left in the remaining seams.






Here's all three pods - filled and ready for gluing on the fins.

The goal was to have a smooth cylinder from top to bottom. 






The jig pieces were removed from the sheets. As usual, the laser cut edges were a wedge cut. I sanded the edges to square them up.







Here's the assembled jig - 
It did come in very handy keeping the pods centered when gluing between  the two fins.
