MORE ASSEMBLY
Time to attach the sides! Each side has a little outline that shows where the main body attaches. I did several test fits to check alignment. I put a line of paper craft gel glue right up to the edge of the outline and several lines of glue back and forth through the center. I paid close attention to how things lined up with the front section, especially since I still have to design a strip of the centerline. I think things are looking good so far.
On a side note, anyone else notice the design similarities between the
Galileo and the Executive Shuttle from “ST IV” and “Generations?”
Galileo always caught flack because the design wasn’t aerodynamic, but 20+ years later a similar design (scalloped edges, rear engine area, boxey shape, stubby wings) pops up. Funny how things come around.
