The laser cut inter stage supports should have the edges trued up with a sanding block. If they aren't squared up the cap strips (cardstock) won't glue on straight. Without sanding square the sides, no pieces will be true when glued to the body tube.
It's quite a bit of sanding.
After the CWF is sanded down, the pieces were stuck down to some cardboard for a shot of filler/primer and more sanding.
Notice the root edges are pressed against each other to keep the filler/primer off an area that will be glued later.
Great idea about the root edges facing each other. Wish I had done that on my Nike Ajax clone I build from plans.
