The instructions say to sand and even up the sides of the smaller tower sides. It takes very few passes with sandpaper before the sides get to be too small.
Sand a little and check, sand and check again.
Gluing in the sides is easier when there is a slight friction fit.
I pressed the sides in place and then brushed a little liquid cement over the joints.
On every Saturn V tower I've assembled, the internal "O" ring has been too small.
I build up the outside diameter by gluing and wrapping a thin strip of paper around it. Two complete wraps should help the fit.
Even with the wraps there wasn't contact on the one side.
Oh well - it's stronger than it would be otherwise.
