I finished the sponsons and their various struts. I made six of them all together, and these are the best two. I embedded some very fine wire in the struts, and am not sure that did much to help to stiffen them. The sponsons as printed have tabs, but I couldn't make those work for me so I tried joiner strips with varying results. All in all, they were enjoyable to build (since I am in no hurry). I have to say that the parts go together very well. My struggles had nothing to do with the quality of the model.
