This is a conventional design using cylinders and cones ( just like the real thing ). So started assembling each. No issues here.

The order of the pieces being built is not important, as there is no interior. I started gluing the round bulkheads. Problem was noted with part 8 and bulkhead E. I decided to cut off the top piece, which will shape the upper assembly of the cockpit area. However, the diameter of part E is too small when assembled to the forward end of part 8.

I will have to correct it later ( unless I screwed up here Ron ). Then I will glue the upper piece of part E on top. Still work in progress.



I continued with the other pieces for now.

Short report so far.

Back to work
