Centuri Skylab Build, #KB-4, Part 10, Panel Supports

This is one of the few kits where pre-cut (die-cut) balsa needs to be recut. It makes me wonder if the die-cut razor blocks was made too long. Or, maybe the extra length was needed for strength when doing that center punch?

From the instructions:

You are told to cut off 1/8" off each side of the die-cut panel supports. Then bevel the ends to a 45 degree angle.

 

Later on, there has to be a 1/8" space between the top of the panel support and the bottom edge of the wrap.

On the left is an early dry fit of the wrap and top of the panel support.

In the inset picture is the beveled top.
