So do you attach the fins, prime, then fill and sand? Seems like the fins would get in the way of sanding out the Bondo.
Yesterday I sanded my Bondo'd body tube, and papered the remaining three fins. The BT looks and feels great, but the fins didn't quite live up to their beta test brother--a bit of peeling paper and rough edges. I think it is a combination of too little glue and a dulling X-Acto knife.

Today I recieved a package from AC Supply Co, what could it be?

E-Series pad & controller, a mess of engines (A-D), a Yankee, Wizard, Tall Tom, and Maxi Alpha 3. Together they should complete my NARTrek Bronze requirements.
1) The Maxi Alpha 3 is a lot bigger than I expected, guess I should have paid more attention to the dimensions
. Has anyone built this model with a break at the coupler instead of nosecone? I think it would store a bit easier.
2) I misread the E-pad specs, and it doesn't seem to come with, or support a 1/8″ rod. Anyone have experience jury-rigging this, or should I just invest in some 3/16″ lugs?
