I will be referring to the 1/45 Little Joe II "Tips and Tricks" thread on TRF for some of the assembly methods, such as finishing and painting the top of the body tube before putting the wrap on.
I cut the body wrap to 5.04 length, then I drew a line down the tube, and dry-fitted the wrap to check for gaps or overlap. It was nearly a perfect fit!
I used 3M Super 77 spray adhesive on the wrap and placed it on the tube, then used rubber bands to hold everything. After letting things set overnight, I used CA to seal the edges of wrap. The wrap went on really nice, and the seam was nearly non-existent. |
