i finished section 3 twice, the first one i built the way that was in the instructions came out about 1/2 of an inch to long due to the thickness of tabs and such. so i decided to scrap that one and rebuild it the same way i did the upper hull section. so i reprinted the parts and cut out all the panels and laminated them to 1mm card. i then cut out all the door panels and glued them to the back of the 1mm card behind the cutouts. i created a box frame and former's from .5mm card and then attached the created skins. the end result came out the correct length and is very strong although a little heavier than i thought it would be.
then jumping into the next section, being very careful with the edge gluing of each of the boxes that compose this group. this time i had no issues with the building. all the dimensions were right on and fit perfectly.
