Fitting the top of the flight deck now and running across a gap on the aft starboard side. I’ve tried fitting the top in several different ways, but it always comes down to this same gap.

I finally screwed up the courage to take drastic steps and cut a channel just inside the edge so that I can use a hot air gun to soften the resin and bend the aft starboard side inward to fit. I glued the cut to hold the side in place and now it seems to fit pretty well.

So I guess this is the next step. I have never seen photos of the filming miniature’s flight deck. I assume that it’s just some dark gray color?
