I was going to add a launch lug standoff to the booster, then realized that the fins of the Centaur MUST be interdigiated. So the booster launch lug will go on one of the fins.
Lots of parts!

Looks like it is coming along! Kinda looks a little like a two-stage Centuri/MiniMax Lil’ Hustler! Good progress.
I am pretty much at the same point on my ‘regular size’ Centaur that I started right about the same time you started this project. My kit had some *very* hard balsa fin sheets from which to cut the pre-printed fins! I had to change blades in my Xacto #5 and #1 handles a couple times each. Uuuhhggg!
Good luck on the rest of the build!
