***Juan,the Hasegawa model was entirely different in many aspectsincluding a plastic fuselage frame,the Hachette example was 'loosely' designed around it,sadly it lost the finesse that Hasegawa gave it,everything is different in many respects and the struts have proper fixings,the biggest mistake that Hachette made was not to provide any proper drawings,after all has anyone made a model before without drawings ? starting at the tail end did not help either,the whole model was oddly configured.
The best source would be a Fokker Dr.1 scale drawing,one of the best was done by Whyham and provides excellent scale details,this was produced in book form together with lots of other world war one aeroplane drawings.
The struts are easily attached with 10 ba bolts obtainable from model shops,you can use the existing holes in both the struts and the brackets,see the respective detailed piece here on how to go about setting up the struts.
