Cheers guys....

Ok Ailerons and flaps, next for attention, followed by the Cannon and machine gun components...for the most part the wings are now assembled, some sanding and final prep still to come....

Nice. I was watching for how they dealt with the reduced-length ailerons. Looks like there was a spacer provided between the aileron and the wing tip.
