To keep the spacing consistent between the SRMs, I used a dowel and set it between two tubes.The dowel was first sharpened and then the tip sanded off until the tip rested between the tubes.
It was slid from end to end insuring the space between each tube was the same.
Here's all nine of the SRMs in place.
Before anyone reminds me, for now the model is spray painted with gloss white. It'll be sprayed with a dull coat later when it's finished.
TIP: It's easier clean gloss finished model during all the handling of a build. With gloss paint, finger smudges come right off with a damp paper towel. After a lot of handling it's not so easy to clean off a finger oils and dried glue off a flat finish.
NOTE: This build will be delayed a few days until I get a the new vinyl wrap. Carl is constantly improving his kits and is working with a vendor for a newer, more detailed vinyl wrap. I've seen a test print and the detail is excellent.
