From the side, the bridge railing looks a little high. I should have sanded it a little more. Scuff, center and CA

glue the gun director as shown. The bridge is now ready to glue to the upper deck.

Sand just until the rounded edge is gone. Same for the pilot house and the Bridge.

Lightly dragging the blade sideways will remove rough edges left from sanding. Score the inside marks at the

bridge. The finished parts should look like this. LOOK CLOSE at the cutout detail of the Bridge to match it.

Set the pilot house into the bridge as shown. Center, scuff mating surfaces and glue in place. Sand around the

underside of the pilot roof. Apply CA to the top edge of the pilot house. Center, press & hold the roof for 12

seconds. Center the triangular part between the rectangular vent extensions.

Even the edges. Sand the bottom of the bridge roof. Sand the gun director. Rotate it frequently to sand evenly.
