Red face Wings

assembled

I added extra dowels to the wing root to aid in stiffness.

The outer wing is butt joined ( I could not match the sections and the results are not to my liking ).

add the aileron

Notice the wing tip structure is protruding. That will be cut off since the tips are squared off and not rounded as in the kit design.

both wings are on. Not a perfect fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solution : add a strip that covers the ugly butt joint .

Note :

I should have pre joined the wings using a glue strip and then fit to the fuselage. Also, the designer is missing a small fillet that was on the actual plane.

That is all for now.
