The booster rocket fins/glider attachments have now been sanded to their finished profile.
I rounded both the leading and trailing edges of all fins, plus cleaned up the tip surfaces of the glider attachment pieces.
The Edmonds instructions would have the builder leave all edges squared, but I prefer to have them rounded. It just looks better.
Next step is to apply some CWF to the various gaps and do final shape and clean-up sanding.
I also test-fitted the gliders in their places between the attachment pins. As expected, they were very tight.
I happen to have a needle file that is the exact thickness necessary to take down the inner surfaces of the pins.
The gliders now slide into position easily.
Here's a preview of how the completed model will eventually look.
Onward and upward....
