Well, I have come into my first glitch while assembling the kit.
While testing the fitment of the Ascent Module and Command Module it wouldn't fit correctly.
Because I am very sure that all the parts where perfectly put together I went and measured the parts, in particular the forward bulkhead. It turns out that the hole is not perfectly centered and about 0.5 mm off. I removed some material from the opposite side to make the correction.
After making the modification I retested the fitment and it now matches perfectly.
There seems to be a small manufacturing error in the forward bulkhead.
