Use C-clamps to hold pieces in alingment while soldering and to keep stuff square.  Us soft wood pads where necessary to keep clamps from maring the work.  You might find a torch works better than an iron on the big pieces.  Use a wet rag or heat sink on already soldered pieces to keep them from unsoldering while you work on other joints.  When these kits were developed we didn't have epoxies and AC glues.  I haven't tried gluing one of these together, but think either of these glues would work just fine if you don't want to solder.Ditto on the comments about the windows.  Putting a present day detailed window casting in the openings would really dress these kits up.Have fun and please post a picture of your project when you finishhope this helpsJBB
