What a project - watching!
Do you know Chloe Plattner from Vienna? She has build some of the Horten planes plated with real wood. Here some links:

Wow! bughunter! Those Hortens are fantastic!! - I can see the similarities in internal construction in the 6-engined version.
I had thought of using some "real wood" in my kit - I think I need to add more timber detail that the kit doesn't include.
Stay tuned......

Great work with a impressive amount of kit parts!
Regarding picture 76 and your question: I think a glue like Micro Kristal Klear (Microscale MI-9, No) is an option. It is like wood glue, stays flexible after it dried and it looks like glass on the instruments (in the holes of the upper layer).

Thanks Bughunter for your thoughts - I think I solved it by scraping away the enamel on the back piece, so then gluing metal to metal.
There's still an impressive amount of kit parts to go.... all the wings internals, fuel tanks, controls & piping - then the skin everywhere!!!
I'm loving it though - the engineering of this kit is top class!
