Estes Star Stryker Build, #3206, Part 6, Upper Fin Gluing

Here's the first of the upper five fins. 

On the left, notice the wrap of masking tape for positioning the high end tip of the leading edge.

The picture at the right shows the trailing edge on the pencil fin line.

All five upper fins in place. 

That tape wrap above keeps all the fin root edge tips in line.

I went ahead and started glue fillets before gluing on the lower, smaller fins.

I like to start applying glue fillets on the root edge body tube joint - at the top and bottom before filleting the longer sides.

This shows how much glue I use when making fillets.

On the left is the the wood glue right out of the bottle, drawn down the root edge of the fin.

On the right is the glue smoothed out with the tip on my little finger.
