Estes BOSS Kit #7316, Build, Part 11, Fins, Shock Cord & Windows




The motor tube standoffs are glued 1/4" from the rear of the main BT-50 tube.
Shock cord is a standard tri fold. 
Sometimes I glue the mount in later after the model is painted.

The tri fold mount is molded into a curve to fit the inside of the body tube while the glue in the mount is still wet.
Press it into the body tube (dry) and insert the nose cone to mold the mount into a curve.


The little round windows (Part AA) can be painted black off the model and glued on after the gloss white is sprayed.

The dots were taped down for black spray.




I made a window positioning template out of the upper tube marking guide.
