Cut a piece of 4 x 4mm wooden strip
to fit on top of the two below the gun
ports. Place a gun port frame in the
ports to work out how much of this
strip needs to be removed. Cut away
the strip as required, then glue it
into place.
Glue another 2 x 5mm wooden strip to
fit above the first, with gaps cut for the
ports. Then glue a 3 x 3mm wooden
strip above the 2 x 5mm wooden strips.
The top of this should be in line with
the cutouts in the ribs. You may need
to cut sections from the 3 x 3mm strip
for the gun ports. Repeat this process
using the A 2 template for the other
side of the model.
Cut three lengths of 3 x 3mm wooden
strip to fit between the ribs. Glue two
into the cutouts in the ribs and the
remaining one centrally between them.
