This photo shows the slits opened up slightly with sandpaper, so that they could except the 0.5mm thick supports.

The next step was to increase the surface area of the supports for better fixing the wind and spray deflector. For this, i glued small lengths of 1.0mm square strip to each side of the supports.

I then started to add some of the PE supplied with the part-works. In this case the brackets that secure the radio lines. The attached photo shows the port bracket in place. The bracket required a bit of modification due to the change in shape of the conning tower to get it to sit correctly.
