Thanks Wayne.
After lifting the masks briefly on the upper canopy to check that no glue seeped in behind the framing I added, I was finally able to slide the wings over the steel spar and secure them in place with the upper canopy. Though the fit is extremely close and precise, a little bit of persuasion was needed close a small gap in the clear part..
Once the glue set, I removed the clamp and applied another clear coat to seal the decals. This time, the thimble full of Future was tinted with a small amount of Tamiya brown and white to simulate dust and fading on the surface and, most importantly, to tone down the stark black Balkenkreuz decals.
The next step will be to complete some weathering and then apply a final flat coat before gluing on the remaining underwing struts.
Thanks for looking in.
