Yeah - that be daughters for you - but hey, look on the bright side - at least you got a comment

Yeah I can see a bit of a fit

issue

with those struts...

The main struts/supports seem to set the wing in a good spot, but, the inner fuselage-to-wing supports are too long; wing to main strut braces far too short. Brass rod to the rescue I suppose.

lol, it's more fun when stuff (mostly) fits on its own though!!!

I dunno, I went back and just looked at it, moved things around, twists & bends, I just don't see anything that I could've done to cause it to be so far off. It's almost like there is supposed to be some anhedral built into the wings, that isn't there?

It sounds remarkably like the Revell SE5a I built a while ago - I'm sure the strusts were for a different kit...

If I didn't snip them off the sprue myself, I'd be wondering the same thing!

The two large main struts slot into the fuselage nice & solid after I sanded the corners a touch. Maybe a touch low on the trailing edge of the wing, but not bad. The other struts... well, I think the technical term is "caddywhompus". Not even close. Thinking I now need to rebuild those "N" shapes with... stretched sprue (inconsistent but easily attached) or brass rod.

Yeah, that DOES suck...but the idea of replacing them outright is a good one and easily done since they are straight rods...DO IT and stop CRYING!!!

Yep, that main strut woulda been a massive pain to replace, but in this scale, I think I can get away with individual lengths of brass rod.
