Hm. Um... I have one tower base (looks like the one the tower stands on,
it's visible on the picture) and one cylindrical tower with a cupola on
the
top, but apart from the general shape my tower doesn't look very much
like
the one on the picture and I don't see how to fit an inverted tower base
on
top of it (not without removing the cupola, which - considering the
brittleness of the resin - I'm not quite sure if I dare to do)...? 

Looking at the pictures again, there is another sleek tower on the
left-hand bridge building. This tower seems to "swell" towards the top,
and
has a knob on its end (Full Thrust, indeed ;-) which looks very similar
to
the cupola on the tower I have, but its base (visible in the DSII
pictures)
is the same as the tower carrying the MT-35 Landing Pad. Since my tower
doesn't "swell", it seems like this left-hand tower in the picture is
composed of two different tower sections - one lower, thinner (identical
to
the one carrying the landing pad) and one upper, thicker (identical to
the
one I have). Is this correct?

You don't have to :-) It's page 27. I suspected it was them, but  I
wasn't
sure :-)
