There are two small "dots" glued onto the body tube forward of the dowels.
These are cut from thick card stock. They won't fit the curvature of the body tube as they are now.
I drew a line down the center of the dot for a reference.
Set this line down the length of an X-Acto knife barrel or stiff dowel.
TIP: Press the sides around the barrel to give it a smooth curve.
Compared to the first picture you can see a difference in the fit.
You could glue these on without shaping them but there would be a gap requiring more fillet work.
My parts were from a pre-production kit and there were some small adjustments made.
The forward launch lug marking guide was high and the two lugs wouldn't be in line. This is an easy fix and corrected for the kit run.
