Fitting the doors: Steps 19-20
Fitting the tray: Step 21
Finishing the 20-cm guns: Step 22
As shown in the photo on
the far left, glue two of the
longer square rods together,
back to back. Glue the
remaining eight rods
together in the same way so
that you have five joined
pairs. Then, using the photo,
near left, identify the places
in which to glue them,
aligning the inside edge with
the midpoint of the joined
square rods (inset).
Separate the doors from
the sprues. Glue three of
them into place in the
positions shown in the
photo, with the window
depressions topmost.
Glue the gun barrels into the body. Then paint the ends of the
barrels black.
Use the photo to identify the positions of the remaining three
doors, and glue them into place.
Temporarily fit the hangar tray assembly into place.
