Default Buck Rogers - an oldie but goodie

I finally decided to build my Buck Rogers Starfighter.

I did have a little bit of go fever and forgot to get a picture of parts. Lots of "die cruched" cardboard pieces - no balsa to fill!

The first step is to punch out the 3 parts to make the canopy. I used white glue and the double glue method plus some small clamps to hold the tabs while the glue dried. Did it one tab at a time.

I used Elmer's F&F for the body tubes (no pix). Once that dried and sanded, I punched out the wings, marked the tubes, and attached the wings to the body tubes.

The engine mount consists of a bulkhead and motor ring glued into the end of the motor tube. This is then glued to the main body.
