Apart from a couple of minor non-structural pieces, the acrylic is now done.
On the whole, it went together very well.
I did find a couple of areas that I could improve on (in terms of the way it goes togther) and have adjusted the model and files accordingly.
The top front of the ship has been made removable and is fixed in place with magnets.
This leaves the possibility of doing an interior in the future.
The underside panel at the rear (between the engines) is also removable - as per the original.
This allows removal of the airlock area and again the possibilty of adding details there too at a later date.
The next step is to spend some quality time with a sanding block patching and blending the panel seams and joints...
