I then attached the steps along the hatch.
I next glued in place the gun deck framing flooring and waterways as I did the previous decks.
I am fitting the gun deck side walls in place. To fit well it requires enlarging 2 of the notches on each side. Of course that caused the sidewalls to break and I had to glue the sections again.
While enlarging the notches I realized that the exterior and interior wall here have to line up for the gun ports to align. The exterior walls are not to go on until later. I have to investigate how to make sure they align before I put these walls in. I intend to do as much as I can before the walls go in.
