As mentioned elsewhere, the wings are now extended with a small up-folding wing root tab
that attaches the upper wing to the fuselage.

By extending the wing root fairing, it helps glue and lock the upper wing surface to the fuselage.
Seems to add a bit more strength and hold the wing dihedral in place a little better.

Shown here on the P47



I'll apply this part to all the designs...
except for the Tutor Jet model.

Its inboard jet engine intakes allowed for an additional and separate part to be attached.
Theres plenty of room on the model sheet for this slightly larger part.
And it adds a bit more 3D to the artwork.

Plus, the Tutor Jet is the lightest of the models, so the extra part adds a bit more weight.
