Install it about 1/2 way between the top and bottom of the straight portion of the stack. The upper deck is
substantially complete. Whether or not you glue on the 2nd deck now depends on the cannon you plan to install.
Get the cured stacks and the searchlight mount. Sand off the rounded edges of the bottom of the Stacks.
Lightly sand, rotating the stack often so it will remain square. Sanded “after” & “before”.
Don’t forget to
i
nsert a
piece of foam into each stack before gluing to help them float when shot off of your ship.
Install the stacks,
Scuff the base, apply CA to the stack, center, press & hold.
Note the top angle.
Orient them as shown.
The searchlight mount will attach on the rear-most stack parallel to the deck as shown. Use sandpaper to round and
widen the inside of the mount until it fits snug and even without being spread/warped by the stack.
Turn over the launcher. Sand the round mount point plus the bottom of the launcher that will contact it. Apply CA
to the round mount. Center & press the first torpedo launcher 20 seconds. Repeat for the 2nd Torpedo Launcher.
