Thanks for all the comments guys.........
Running out of parts..................... and Then!!!!
What is this..... nose has always been down,
but I've never had the Stabelators attached......
So now it needs a bit more sinker added.
Up thru the nose I will go, there is a clear piece there so I can close it and nobody will know!!!

Got stalled.
For some reason I picked up my CALIF AIR NAT GUARD P-51D but didn't realize I was so close to the finish onnit!
Back to this one for the finish!!!!!
Okay, I put the strut in the wing fold. The little red thingy.
To make sure the wings are at the same angle.
1. I glued the strut in place on one wing, the Starboard in this case.
2. I then used a piece of card and my handy plastic square, made onna a router,
set the card and square to the set-up wing when dry and taped in place.
3. Then after dry fitting strut then before glue is set I placed the card against the wing,
held in place with just the weight of the clamp and squared card.
4. When dry, Bob's your Uncle! Done and equal both sides!!!!!!
