Thanks Guys, moving along, ailerons attached to wings, now I pre-drilled all the Antenna holes you can see them on the upper wings.....and the lower wings with small 'Flat' discs for the bases of the aerial attachments. I used 1.5mm plastic rod drilled holes with .6mm drill and then sliced/sawed with small saw to create each base, the first of which you can see on the lower wing.....that was fun....not..! I think it does the job though.

Now, well after I pre-drilled those antenna holes I noted from one of the main pics and Erich's layout image that the upper wing Antenna's were in a straight line not one (top) off set.
So I then created a small template to line up the two end holes to then re-align the middle 2 holes, once done I then glued small stretched sprue 'plugs' in the wrong holes, sanded them smooth and then placed the small Flat discs over the appropriate holes using a small .6mm brass rod to line things up for each hole, same was then repeated for the upper fuselage front and rear to get all in position.

Great work. Slicing rod like that fakes about 3 to 4 tries for me before I get one acceptable. Tough to slice parallel.

Beautifully done.

I got a good portion of the 30 odd I cut reasonably good, so that helps the cause.....
onwards, main wings attached, horizontal stabs assembled and in place too...looking the part now.
