Enerjet by Aerotech, Astrobee D Build, Part 31, Gluing On The Forward Lug


The two side pieces of masking tape are more alignment tools. Using CA glue to attach these details doesn't give you much time to reposition once you set the piece down.

Notice the medium CA glue beads set on the back of the forward lug base. I keep the glue away from the outside edges. There will be some "squeeze out" of the glue. Keeping the glue towards the center doesn't allow glue to go beyond the edges when pressed in place.






Here's the forward launch lug in place, centered over the aluminum band. 

It's a good looking scale detail piece.
