i glued some small tabs of plastic inside the where the cover meets the fuselage to help keep the edges glued down
i also found i had to sand down the top part of where the cockpit meets the gun bay so the rear of the cover would line up correctly if that makes sense
i found you have to be very, very careful with all the engine and MG fittings or everything forward of the cockpit will be out of whack !!!!

Too many. Mk.22 and MM my priorities but I keep adding deals to fill my USS Yorktown group. I want to do one of every type that served on both Yorktowns, CV-5 and CV-10. 10 was classified as three catagories in it's history. CV-10 (WWII), CVA-10 (attack) and CVS-10 (anti-submarine), until it was decommissioned and made into a floating museum. I served in HS-4 on the 62-63 cruise.
