Take your time and get a nice joint here.
Remember, everyone will see this part, so do a
good job…
Once the glue has cured, sand the top and
bottom flat.
Glue the roof in place so that the cutout is in the
rear, and flush with the back.
This cutout is for the smoke stack.
Sand the wheelhouse and apply sealer.
Seal both inside and out.
If you have not done so, apply a second coat of
sealer to all parts and allow to cure.
Shaft Tube
We need to drill a 5/32 hole through the bottom
for the shaft tube.
To do this, use a drill bit by hand and drill from
inside
the hull.
Drill through the shaft hole in bulkhead 5
(actually a shaft “notch”).
You are only
drilling through 1/16 ply so it won’t
take long.
This is important for a smooth running shaft
so take a little time to get it right.
