After a full day's work the 'alpha' test is complete.
The shortening of the second deck looks promising; however the absence of inner glue tabs and unnecessary bulkhead tabs lead to a very rough construction (which is extremely obvious looking at the photos).
Tomorrow I'll do some more editing in Inkscape to add inner glue tabs and remove the tabs from the bulkheads. Not only will it facilitate construction but I'll be able to see the contour of the nose and second deck easier.
(Bonus detail- since I'm working with the E-4B first I decided to test out how the four antennae atop the second deck would look in model form. They look great but I had to cut off half a millimeter on each to obtain the correct height.)
