Great progress! I just like to follow it. :D

I think you used that as a guide for the cockpit.
Your solution with the disc turned out great, brilliant! :D

What glue did you use to glue the wing pieces to the side plate? It looks there are some white marks around the wings.

I find it a challenge to build rear wings. If I glue the assembly first, it is difficult to place the decal on the side plates. If decal is put on the side plates first, it is very risky to glue the wing pieces to the side plates. I use solvent glue to glue the wing pieces after I put the decals on the side plates. There are some decal area being melted around the wing ends.

Anyone has good suggestions?
I've been using this glue for stuff like this for a while now.

Transpa Fix 6K from VMS

It doesn't harden immediately, so it has to be fixed.
That works well in a rear wing clamp or between 2 metal blocks. But you don't get any residues or you can remove them again... and that works with this solution.
