Estes Maxi-Brute Honest John (Kit #1269), Part 11, Gluing Up The Launch Shoes

The 1/16" thick side strips (Part G) are glued on 1/16" down from the top of the center piece (Part D).

On the left, I used an extra G piece as a spacer so all the strip positions will be even. The extra strip was set on top of the glued piece while the glue was still wet.

I pressed my sanding block until the spacing strip was even with the top of the D piece. The extra spacing strip was removed leaving the glued strip in the correct position.

Here's the view from the top - 

Both G piece strips are glued on, inline and equally spaced.

The overhang on both sides was on purpose.

Trim off the bulk of the overhang with a knife then sand the ends to the front and back faces of the D piece.

Here's the backside showing the strips sanded to surface. 

I tried not to sand into the wood or remove the gray filler/primer.
