The hardwood Ramjet cone is glued on top of that.
The Bic pen segment nozzle is glued onto the narrow tapered end of the nose cone segment.
A "fillet" of CA glue was applied around the joint using a toothpick.
Both the front end Ramjet and the rear end
Nozzle are recessed 1/16" down inside the BT-5 tube.
All three are ready to go -
To be glued onto the outside edge of the three fins.
Very nice. That is the fun of scratchbuilding right there.
ReplyDeleteLooking good.
ReplyDeleteCool idea on the ramjets
