My latest order of ships has just arrived from the very speedy Nic at Eureka
Miniatures.

Amongst them is my first Tsiolkovsky class carrier (an ESU ship, in case you
missed the clue:)). My question is how does it actually go together?

Going by the illo is FB1, I have identified the pieces as follows: Main
wing (with rectangular notch in mid-front section), 2 x wing weapon
pylons, large rectangular superstructure, distinctive bow section, small
rectangular section.

Obviously, the pylons go on the wing edges as per the illo on page 40 of FB1,
and the superstructure slips into the grooves on the upper surface of the wing
and covers the notch. The tang of the bow section slides
under the superstructure into the notch - untill the leading edge of the
superstructure contacts the rear of the 'bridge deck'. Would I be correct in
assumming that the small rectangular section then covers the underside of the
bow tang? If so, it's a shame it's not a little wider to fully cover the
underside of the notch as well, as it is only as wide as the tang of the bow
section. Hmm, a little filling is required, I think, to ensure proper
revolutionary fervor!
