I'll take care of the adjustment of the neck, upper buildings and bridge.
It is first made dry, with sanding and adding wedges, maintained with pliers.
I add a PVC L-strip on the rear rib to have a better hold of the neck.

Then the two main parts of the main buildings.

A wooden wedge ensure keeping them on their front side.

Then I go to the higher buildings, where you have to trim the details.

![[Image: .IMG_1409_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1409_m.jpg)
Sometimes there are several millimeters of material to remove...

After numerous runs to the belt sander, thickness is good, but still a wrong angle.

![[Image: .IMG_1415_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1415_m.jpg)
which is resolved after a bath in hot water (which softened the resin and allows it to be reshaped)
![[Image: .IMG_1417_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1417_m.jpg)
And finally the front building. Here too, we must trim the details to insert the part
![[Image: .IMG_1418_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1418_m.jpg)
![[Image: .IMG_1420_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1420_m.jpg)
The angle here is also incorrect

And is adjusted after a run in hot water.

![[Image: .IMG_1426_m.jpg]](http://olcabour.hangar.blog.free.fr/public/starwars/RC_stardestroyer/.IMG_1426_m.jpg)
It is also necessary to add plastic strip on neck so the bridge is straight.
