TIP: Sometimes you can shine up a flat finish by polishing. I used a clean shoe shine brush to buff out the surface. This brush had not been used, there was no shoe polish residue on the brush. If there were any polish in the brush it could transfer onto the model. Be careful brushing over raised corner surfaces - you can rub off the paint!
The picture on the right side shows the shinier surface.
A dry fit of the strut detail pieces shows the position of the orange piece. When the holes are lined up the piece sits too high on the leg! You can see the position on the right side.
The strut pieces were stuck down on masking tape and sprayed with spray adhesive.
Here's the strut piece pressed in place, lined up with the top and bottom. Note the holes don't line up. It doesn't really matter.
It wasn't difficult to glue back - but I glued it without checking the other legs - It's flipped over! The "piston" sits higher than on the other three legs. Heck, I'm leaving it as is.
