Build techniques filling body tube spirals part 2
Build update
sanded the body tubes first w 400 then 600. I think I need to thin the CWF more, less sanding
sealed the basswood w thin CA. I hate CA odor just as much as plastic model cement. BTW, epoxy odor doesn’t bother me
keep the guesses coming, maybe win a prize
Aiming for Feb launch first flight but the weather may stop me
will miss March 🏝️🌋

If you look along the edge of the item you've saturated with the thin CA, you can actually see it fuming. It burns the eyes and I doubt it'd be a good thing to inhale either. It's rather exothermic too. I cover the item(s) I've coated with a box to contain the fumes indoors. When the weather is warmer, those items go outside.
Not fuming. Blurry w depth of field so as to keep you guessing in the build
i tried the CA on basswood just to try. I don’t prefer it
Is it a Falcon Heavy?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Build continues

No, my red herring friend, it is not a 4 engine cluster. 2 or 3 maybe, but that doesn't sound like you. One engine. The other 3 tubes are just window dressing. The jig suggests Apogee. Checking the website won't help as you usually build stuff that hasn't been sold in the current century.

My guess is an X-Wing fighter.
Hilarious
keep guessing
sci-if related
what jig?
will be painted white, lots of decals too
upgrading to take 29mn, F15 would be great
Maybe a R/C?

Good Point Brian. Adding a little, I think it is the "Super Viper" from morerockets.com. An upscale from the Estes original.
