    A heads up to anyone building this kit. I painted the model future as a gloss decal coat today and left it in the sun to cure. When I got to it there was a marked sag in both wing pannels downwards. It is winter here so it must have been max 15-20 deg C


    I had to re-enforce the wing to fuse joint with thin super glue, hoping it will keep over time as the thin joiner bar on the inside of the fise binding the wings I recon is not up to the job and the wingroot seam is so thin glue area is really small.

    Good info Theuns, I picked one of these up a wee while ago. Maybe some sort of reinforcement is in order to prevent future wing sag/failure. Do you think a continuous rigging thread would help?

      I ran thin superglue on the wingroot and it feels better. The EZ line I used for rigging will have no structural value. Maybe a thread that does not stretch will help...
