Dr. Zooch Saturn 1 SA-5 Build Part 11 S-1 Tank Placement

The rolled tanks are glued into place.

I sanded off a little of the overlapped card stock from the one black tank that'll sit against the engine hook. The thickness of the engine hook will raise that one tank tube higher than the others. Removing a little card stock from the back will set in the lower end just a bit.

For now, glue was only placed on the rear edges of the tubes before setting them into the thrust structure tube. I'll glue the tops down later.

When gluing the black printed tanks in place, sight down the tube from the rear to make sure the "United States" band is centered and even. This won't matter much with the white tubes, but you'll notice it later if the black tubes are out of line.

As the tubes are glued in place, check to be sure they are sitting into and against the spider beams.

I didn't glue the tubes to the spider beams, they are there for positioning. The tubes were glued just at the bottom for now.
