Hello everybody,
in the meantime I have completed the remaining
CT Parts (Parts 4-6) and glued the lateral edge onto the
Slant (Part 3.4), that is made from
Evergreen Sheet Styrene (0,13 mm), which is very thin but noticeably in contrast.
The upper
Disk (Part 6) is the same size as on the other side
Ø 2 mm x 0,3 mm, and for the
Slant (Part 5) and the
Plate (Part 4) I have each used an
Evergreen strip (1 mm x 1,5 mm).
For gluing the disc on the slant, it was again fixed centrally between two steel rulers.
So far, so good.
Next, I actually wanted to glue the
Slant (Part 3.4) under the
Center support (Part 2). But before that I glued the two rings on the bow of the
LO2 Feedline, which one can see in this photo.

For this I wrapped an
Evergreen Strip (0,5 mm x 0,5 mm) around a steel rod and held it under the
Hot air gun, then I've cut out two short segments, which were glued between the two
Feedline Brackets, wherewith these details get done now too.
Then the slant was glued under the Center support, which extends to the
LH2 Cable Tray under the
Crossbeam. And that was also the expected delicate matter both for my eagle eyes (+ Headset magnifying glass),
as well as for my quiet hand to place this part with the tweezers exactly as possible straightaway, what fortunately worked quite well.
After that I immediately tried on the bow and checked its position in the contact zone under the center support and to the slant, and corrected its position still minimally.
At the rear end of the slant now this
CT-bow must be glued, as well as on it the remaining
CT-Parts (Parts 4-6), which hopefully still fit in between.
Following that, I will then bend the end piece of the
GO2 Press. Line also from a
Nickel-silver rod (Ø 0,4 mm), which goes from the last
Ice Frost Ramp up to the
Umbilical plate, but for the time will being not glued. The remaining
GO2 Press. Line forwards up to the
LO2 Tank will then later be installed as a separate line.

That's it for today, dear folks, and thanks for watching.
