Parts 22 through 29 form the ECS Equipment that is mounted on the right wall in the aft section. Parts 23c and 24c roll into short tubes glued directly onto part 22. Part 25 was a bit challenging. In addition to the small round holes to cut out, the face has a compound fold which forms a relief for the hatch to clear. This in turn created a bend in the bar across the top of the unit. I fixed this by cutting the edge of the bar and regluing it to the opposite mounting pole. Also, I had to trim and bend the corner where part 24 was mounted because the cutaway portion was not large enough to accommodate the part.

Since part 22 is attached to the inside surface of part 25, I had to add the same compound bend to that part.

Part 26 was also a bit tricky because the edge that glues to part 25 did not incorporate the compound bend into the design. Thus, I had to trim the edge a bit to conform to part 25.

Parts 29a through 29c form a short tube that comes out the aft side of the ECS Equipment. No major troubles there.

Part 30 is the Water Control Module. There are some compound curves that form the outer shell, but I worked through it slowly gluing just a small portion at a time, letting it dry, then gluing the next portion.
