Estes Delta Wedge Clone #1931 Build, Part 5, Gluing It All Up




Here's a good fit of the wedge fin in the triangular slot.

This is still a dry fit - no glue yet.




Before the wing is glued on,
Apply some glue over the engine hook.

This could help as there isn't an engine block.

I added a glue tab to the cockpit. The original kit has you butt up and glue just the edges together. Notice I don't put glue on the tab, but inside the opposite edge. 

On the left you can see very little glue applied.
On the right, the glued area is held with long tweezers.


I didn't apply any glue until after with wing was slid on.

Fillets were applied and smoothed with a Q-tip.
Glue was also applied and smoothed around the narrow end of the wing/body tube joint.
