Estes USS Enterprise #1275, Part 16, The Hull Pylon

The internal pylon assembly was set inside one side of the secondary hull. A pencil line was traced around the bulkhead.

Contact cement was applied on one side at the pencil bulkhead line and at the pylon doubler contact areas.
Repeat for the other side.




Before allowing the pieces to touch - carefully align. 
The pylon assembly was pressed in place.
Be sure to check that the slots line up at the back.






The secondary hull assembly.





Two small hairline cracks occurred on the forward end of the hull. The cracks formed where the plastic was the thinnest. 
I'll fix this in a later post.
