Parts 11a, 11b, and 12 are a bit tricky. When assembled the top and bottom are flat, but the sides, which form the interior walls of the aft section of the LM, are curved and need to match the curvature of edges of part 3. I started off prebending parts 11a and 12. Then, after lining up the hatch hole of part 11a with the hatch hole of part 12, I glued them together applying glue just on the flat parts around the hatch. They have to line up very precisely since the curved parts will later be glued together and have to line up.
After doing more bending to the sides of parts 11a and 12, I lined up the engine hole of part 11b to part 12 and glued them together, being careful about the alignment.
I then glued the curved walls of part 11a to the curved walls of part 12. It took some creative stretching and bending, but I am quite pleased with the end result.
