21: Bond the fascia along the top of each side,
butting it against the doors. Add the fascia along
the top of the ends aswell. Cut out some clear
styrene and glaze thewindows. I use Pledge
“Future” floor polish to attach the styrene glazing
to thewindow pane. Dip the styrene in the
polish, tip off the excess liquid and place it in the
window pane.

22:Measure the exact width of the roof from the
peak to the eave; onmymodel it is 16mm. Cut the
roof segments to thiswidth. Glue two segments
end-to-end.When dry, cut this piece tomatch
the lengthof the body, allowing for a very slight
overhang on the ends. Glue a roof support (1/8"
square stripwood) along the eave edge of the roof
sheet. Set it back from the edge 1.6mm.
23: Glue another support strip along the peak edge
of the roof segment. Offset this one about 1/8”
from the edge. It will need to clear the one added
to the peak of the opposite roof section.
