So I have buttoned up the fuselage. As you can see here I do some trimming of my Granny Clamps. What suits!!!

Because I can................... I made my own straps for the drop tank, copper clad Aluminum!!!!!! Finish the joins, perhaps paint!!!!
 
Awaiting the spritzing. Nice straps. My wings were a bit loose when I mounted them into the slots so I ran tube glue around the inside edge of the slots and inserted the wings. I let this set up for about an hour and then inserted the landing gear, a very good fit, and started bending the wings to get everything lined up. Once I was happy I ran TET around the wing/fuselage joint
