Estes Maxi-Brute Honest John (Kit #1269), Part 10, Spin Nozzles Units, Part 2

Mentioned in the last post - 
The curved top and bottom will be sanded through first.

On the right, the curved edges are trimmed off leaving the straight sides. 

The straight sides are trimmed off with a sharp knife and straight edge. 
Sand and clean up the straight sides with a sanding block.


Do some test fitting on the low nose cone section.

In the top picture, there is still a gap on the straight sides. This tells me I've got more sanding to do on the 220 grit wrapped around the lower nose cone piece.

Here's a better fit, all the way around the piece.





The spin nozzles will be glued on (later) with liquid cement against the molded lines around the nose cone base.
