Got the wings and tail surfaces on. I do not like the fact that MPM does not believe in providing any location or alignment pins. And, it shows in this work. The rudder is simply a butt joint and slid off a couple of times trying to place it and get it to stay put, hence, the glue blobs on the right side. I have sanded down the mis-alignment on the starboard wing as well. Tamiya putty at the wing roots and there will be more on the tail once it has dried overnight.

Short run kits normally don't have locating pins and MPM is definitely that. It's looking good Lyle!
