Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated. But.........
I've had a slight mishap. A biga$$ crack developed in the wing as I was doing some aileron and flap work.
I've had to do an amputation, and now a splice...... not difficult but fiddley.
Fortunately the underside of the top wing part is dead flat. I've attached a piece of .5mm card to the tip section and clamped it in place to set.
I'll have to insert a wedge to keep it tight against the wing center section to get a good join. Should work! Fingers crossed.
Not the most difficult thing I have done.

whats the date of manufacture for this Kit Bill? Old kits can be brittle and fragile, as I'm sure you know

I know NOW........
It is together, just some filler and all should be okay.
