At 1/72 scale, that "acorn" used to streamline the tension joint could be done with a blob of white glue or resin, or shaped from several folded pieces of cardstock and trimmed/sanded.

wyvern-Nice idea there, I was wondering how anyone (much less me) could fold that thing up at 1/72nd scale!:o

Depending on how you fold and join them, you could make the streamlined thingie like a serif on a capital I.
It would also give more gluing area on the edges

Just to let everyone know, this things not dead! Just tempoarily on the back burner.
