Special attention should be paid to components U08 and U09.
U09 consists of three parts that are to be glued to U08.
The sense of this constructive procedure has not become quite clear to me.
Is it to create a better optical effect, to show off the corrugated structure of the
of the outer skin in the original?
With flat components, this works quite well.
With curves, tensions can arise between the two components,
because there are different radii.
I tried to minimize the problem by always creating the curvature while gluing the two parts together. I did not succeed in doing this everywhere.
Can you see this on the model?
For frames 603 and 607, note the metal struts U19cR/L and U10cR/L to be installed
for the transitions from the ET to the shuttle.
Since I didn't have 1 - 1 ½ mm bendable wire, I cut pieces from shirt wire hangers. Hopefully my braces will not prove too thick later.
