A bit of progress at a time and slowly getting there..including a little rearwards progress, regression perhaps. Somehow, I made one of the gun bay sides too small…
…as you may see here with the incorrect part against the correst plate showing the skewed error…this is one of the good things about paper models in that it is easy to make new parts to fix whoopsies like this…
Corrected part back in place…
Adding reinforcing 5mm balsa along all the seams to keep them square and provide much needed internal support…
Mounting the glacis plate…until this time, I never thought there might be some other advantages derived from those strips of balsa….as it turns out they are great for using push pins to hold parts in place until the glue is well-cured…
…and there is a final surface sheet that will cover over these pin holes…
