The various sub-assemblies are not permanently attached yet so any minor misalignments will be corrected during final assembly. In building a model of this complexity several passes are made over the entire ship adding finer and finer details each time until the final product is completed. These pictures are of the first pass adding the photoetched details. After this pass the various sub-assemblies will be further detailed and then painted. The wooden decks will then be added and the final assembly of prepainted detail will be added.
