Gradually the fuselage lengthens.

This is what I am finding on the Nautilus. I found that the JCS card model had much better instructions.

Latest status. Note the small round port. This port (and its mate on the starboard side) are shown nowhere in any of the “instructions” or illustrations of the model. Moreover, the blue lens is significantly smaller than the marked cut-out and required careful application of black marker to blend in. Finally, the internal circular support is too large for the actual diameter of this mid section. I think it is about time to assemble the stand, rather than balancing her on a coffee mug.

The instructions did not say how one was supposed to use the circular pieces that look like internal supports. They weren’t even to be printed on card stock. Eventually I decided to glue them to 1/32 thick bass wood and cut them out. I inserted the first few after having assembled 4 of the sections. Now I do them as I proceed. Also if one cuts the windows out as printed there is no gluing surface. ( discovered the hard way). Reprinted the windows and cut them leaving extra card around the windows so there was something to glue to. Hopefully the attached pictures will may some of this clear. Also to get a better fit, rather than gluing the cylinders and then attaching, I wrapped them around the glue edge to get a perfect fit.

First two cowl rings and radiator shutters completed.
Now I'm busy trying to make sense of the assembly instructions and diagrams, which leave a substantial portion of the build process to the imagination.
