You are doing well with a tough as nails kit. One reviewer stated that this is a doozy to build. Keep at it.

Thanks for the encouragement, from all of youse guys.
Just about every assembly has/had fit issues and or a lot of flash or mold seam cleaning. Been siting at the bench with the ol’ #11 just a whittlin’ away at it.
Bought some UV glue, but I don’t know if it is good or not. Won’t squeeze out and when I remove the cap, it is very thick. Got some out with a toothpick, stuck it to a piece of scrap, pressed the magic button, waited and nothing. Help the light as close as I dared for 10-15 seconds and it still had not cured. Guess I’ll go hut some locally tomorrow. I want to use this stuff to anchor the wing spars and wing joins.
General question, now. I used the resin wheels. Clipped the pour block away with my nippers. Left a bit of cleanup and one had a tiny bubble mark. How do you guys clean resin wheel rhat have tread?

Do the wheels have a center tread? It is really hard to tell from photos, so far... or are you asking how to add back to a cut off section? The wheels seem fairly round when pressurized. As far as any bubble goes, mix Milliput putty per instructions then add just a little water by setting your fingers to make the putty pliable, stick a small piece into the bubble-air hole to fill the pull the rest away. Using clean water smooth the fill out.

Wheels are smooth. Given what I saw, just curious how you (or those that use a lot of resin) handle it. Got these cleaned up okay.

About the UV glue... remember that it is light-activated so it won't cure if you can't shine the UV light on it.

That part, I got....but, how long? I think the stuff I bought is crap. I'm going to try and find some locally and see if it works any better.
