MPC Lunar Patrol, Part 4


Construction is still progressing on the Lunar Patrol…

Glider wings and rudders are now glued into place and light fillets applied.











The two ’V’ fin assemblies are now filled/finish sanded and glued into the proper positions on the booster body tubes.










Since the fins were made from the full- sized kit patterns, they were intended for body tubes of slightly larger diameters than the Estes BT-20 tubes I am using for this build. Consequently, the ends of the fins need to be sanded down a couple of millimeters in length so that the glider fuselages will fit flush against the booster side tubes.
















More to come…..
