Curve the corner with sanding tool.
I put sliced rod into the gap between the arm and the base. It's important to even the angle of arms.
Here is the close shot of the joint. For portability, I did not glue them together. As shown in the following photo. 12 arms attached to the long flat bar. I attach 6 receptacles for the JDB.
Just insert the arms into the slit and then lean the JDB panels.
Here is the close shot of the slit. The center rod is just for decoration. Both side bars actually hold the arm base.
Just leaning the JDB panel without glue.

Close up.
For painting, after spraying white primer, spray Mr. Color 316 white and then apply enamel black wash. You can see how many cotton swabs I used just for this panel.

Wash the arms as well.

Finally, paint enamel German Gray for chipping.
Almost finish
Spray Gunze's Mr. Hobby 343 Soot for jet exhaust.

See how JDB weathered.
