I used my razor saw in my Xacto handle, and my Dremel with sanding drum and sanding sticks to clean up all the mating points on the hull parts. Oh, and lots of test fitting. I tried to get as square of an edge as possible. Gluing the upper fore and aft sections is easier with two people. Trying to keep hem aligned while applying glue and waiting for it to set or shooting accelerator with only two hands was a bit nerve wrecking. I had a small gap to fill on the upper and lower sections. a styrene strip and a bit of filler took care of it. I replaced lost detail with bits of strip plastic cut into chips.
