I no longer waste time with glue fillets on the sides of launch lugs. That glue line was straightened and the width narrowed by pinching your thumb and index finger together.
Run your finger "V" down the lug making a straight, narrow glue line.
Carefully place the lug with the glue on the pencil line, 1 3/4" from the rear of the main body tube.
Here's the rudders glued onto the wing tips.
Assembly is finished, ready for white undercoats.
Hrm... I thought the lug would go on the ventral side rather than dorsal.
ReplyDeleteYea, step 14 shows where the launch lug is to be placed.
DeleteTo Leo and Naoto,
DeleteWhoops, my mistake! It's probably stay where it is.
I can understand how the confusion could come about -- the exploded diagram seems to show the launch lug on the dorsal side. It's when you observe the location of the engine rib part, you'll find that the exploded view depicts in model "belly up" orientation.
