Estes AMRAAM AIM-120 Downscale, Build, Part 4, Making The Conduit

Blowing up the Alway drawing in Corel Draw - I came up with the dimensions for the long conduit tunnel.

Tunnel dimensions:
11.75" long
.130” high x x .40 wide

I used the online picture to get a better idea of the shape.



The tunnel is wide and won't have a good fit over the round tube.


I rolled some 320 grit sandpaper around the tube.
Using straight back and forth movements, a curvature was sanded into the bottom.



Here's a better fit.
Any gap will be filled with a glue fillet.
