Getting back to the flicker, I did change the rump/tail cone part quite a bit to get the wings to go on easier, and the first picture shows this revised. then to the wings, the Primaries are backed with orangish paper, and glued together showing some area of this backing to trim around the primaries, and the secondaries are glued where tabs. They glue together simply, when a bit dry quite a bit of curve/warp of the wings needed, with almost 90 degrees or so looking from the front of curve added with some inward curve along the black primaries. The tail construction is pretty similar leaving a bit of extra white showing of the lower part to trim the top. The tail slot is cut in the tail cone and with quite a bit of curve the tail slides in place lining up straight, and glued in place.
