Estes Super Orbital Transport Build, Kit #7314, Part 7, Main Wing Extensions

Another example of parts fitting.
On the left, the laser cut edges before squaring up the wedge burn.
On the right the front edge of the wing and "W" Extension Piece fairing sides were sanded. 

The instructions have you glue the extensions on after the wing is glued to the body tube. I chose to glue them on now to save any alignment and seam filling concerns later on.
Before gluing on the "W" extensions, 
Round the leading edge of the the forward extensions first.
Right side picture: Glue in place on the square forward edge of the wing.
After the glue dries, round the wing leading edge feathering into the already rounded edge of the "W" Extension Piece.






Here's a clean look at the wing with the notches left in and the two filler strips set between the two piece wing.
