The starboard side continues to have issues. Misplaced location marks, questionable fits and such continued through to the aft end. Measure twice, check fit 3 times and cut or alter once has been the motto.

Next would be the exhaust vents. There are four of these and construction is virtually the same for all. There was quite a bit of trimming to get the parts to look right and yet the fit of the front two stacks could have been better since the walkways interfered a bit with a flush fit to the hull sides.
