The starboard wing is now just about complete. The only problem was with the position of the outmost rib, unfortunately due to the size of the plan I had folded it in half and the detail showing the correct position was underneath. On removing the wing it became clear that I had fixed it at the wrong angle but this was easily fixed.
One nice feature of this model is the wing fixing arrangement using a length of spring steel with a hole drilled for the piano wire wing dowel. The rod pushes in easily enough but will not then pull out until the spring is pulled back away from the fuselage. DB Models sell these separately (£2 per fixing) and they could be used on any large model that could take an 8 SWG wire.
