Don't get me wrong Ralph they are fine but I suppose not having locating pins etc from one half of plastic to the other really tests patients and the destructions are not far off dragons. Where as simplified drawings are not the best but I will Percy on the best way I know.\ said:The joys of a Special Hobby kit
I like that idea\ said:The wing to fuselage fit is always the one that causes most problems on aircraft models. Sometimes you have to try and minimise the work to make the fit work by accepting that something will need fixing but deciding what that will be yourself.
One of my favourite tricks is to attach the upper wing to the fuselage before building the entire wing. With little, or maybe even no, work on either the fuselage or the upper wing you should be able to get a nice fit and, most importantly, you can eliminate any step.
Sometimes, when you eventually attach the lower wing, a gap will appear along the leading edge. On almost all aircraft this is an area that was smooth and detail free and this means that this gap is much easier to fix neatly than a horrible step at the wing root.
