The next photo shows my lines do line up to each other.



The next photo shows where the left interior wall section is to be glued to the front and read walls of the service bay. In viewing the vertical pencil line in this photo, this is where the interior wall is to be glued.

Here is how I determined where the interior left wall is to be located and glued.

I laid the rear wall flat up against a metal square. I then placed the front wall on top of the rear wall. I made sure they were tight against the metal square. I then placed a smaller metal square next to the left bay opening. I held the square weight down and carefully removed the front wall section.



I then made a pencil line up against the smaller square.

The vertical line is the correct location for the right edge of the interior wall.



I then marked another line 1/16" to the left of the first vertical line. This is the location of the brace for the interior wall section. I made sure the brace was square and parallel  to the vertical lines.

This next set of photos show how the wall fit together. None of them are glued.







Done for today.

Curt,

Thanks, on this kit it needs to be. One little misstep early can lead to something major down the build road.

Philip,

Thank you. This middle building is taking extra time due to interior painting.

I mentioned above how I got the interior wall brace in place to align with both the front and rear walls.

This required me to make a change on the bracing of that interior wall. The photo below shows the bracing on the outside of the wall. I've marked in red where I needed to add the bracing.



In the next photo you can see I glued the braces to the inside of the red. I colored the red sides to show where I didn't want to blue braces.

The two vertical braces in the center of the next photo are the braces for the two interior wall sections.



The next photo shows that the interior wall, with the braces moved in, fits the vertical brace and lets the interior walls be perpendicular to the front and rear walls.

Excellent job Tom.

Tom, I like how you go about figuring out wall placement.
Very ingenious and well executed.
