Marty this is a great series you are showing us - I hope some of these can be worked into the exhibit.

Yeah that shot mating the wing: I swear the Airfix model worked exactly like that.
And just use the pin with a drop of glue, if it smeared it would ruin the rivet line!

Charl, there will be a set of photos showing the whole process on display with the aircraft in about a weeks time, i think the public will be interested in seeing that.
