Centuri Quasar Clone Build, Kit #KC-7, Part 7, Gluing Up The Ramjets



The plywood stop disk (from my Odd'l Birdie and Sputnik kits) was glued to the top of the BT-5 sized coupler.
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.

  3. I'm making ramjets in almost the same way. I made rings to fit these little wood cones that I got from Amazon. They are for displaying rings and jewelry.
