Estes LTV Scout, Build, Part 13, Tunnel Gluing


Much like the tunnels on the Saturn V build - 

The tunnel ends fit better when sanded to a small angle. 


The tunnel ends on the adapters aren't molded at a 90 degree angle.

This shows a good fit. Not all the conduit ends were as tight!
The tunnel at the bottom has been glued and taped in place.

The upper tunnel position shows had the filler/primer scraped off just inside the pencil lines.



The wood used to make the tunnels is prone to split. I had it happen a few times when cutting to size.
