Acclamator Assault Ship

There is some misallignment of the details on the lower hull... 

.... I removed it... 

... and glued it with better alignment 

the cast was very thin in the marked areas so that I had to reinforce it 

The bow of the upper hull has to be build new because of bad cast 

 

 

Because I intend to lighten the bridge I cut it with a razor saw in order to hollow it 

 

The hollowed bridge ready for the installation of two small LED´s. 

The pylon on which the bridge has to be installed 

I did not like the deep trench and closed it. 

The callenge was how to illuminate the engine in a way that illumination is not only a blue dot of the LED. The solution is to use an optical lens, which needs an adapter ring for installation 

The lens installed inside the trust tube of the engine. 

Illumination check photografed with flash light 

Illumination check photgrafed without flash light 

The kit misses the rocket and torpedo launchers which I added.
