Estes Klingon Battle Cruiser, #1274, Step 17, Nose Assemblies

The primary hull halves (nose section) plastic was pretty thin.

It takes a bit of forming to get the clay weight so the BT-5 tube will fit.

There was some distortion on the flat top. I used a piece of cardstock to raise the dip in the edge.

Here's the two sides glued together.

The seam ridge seemed unsightly to me.

But, the top seam overlap joint is covered up by the primary hull top piece.

You have to cut a small recess into the rear so it will fit over the joint step.

I used a small rat tail file to make the notch.
