Well, I found the part of the strut that broke and that was missing, got it glued back together. It seems though that the top wing is too heavy for the parts they included to hold it up because the parts seem to be somewhat bent from the weight after putting it on. So after almost a year, this one is back underways

So I got the wing pretty much fixed, but it is a little crooked due to that broken part, and I could not get it any straighter. The top wing seems to be far to heavy for the supports here, it maybe should have been 2 piece, being hollow in the middle may have saved some weight and made it not so heavy. Not sure, well, I got it painted as well. On the pictures it does not look like a solid color but almost like, well, not sure really what to call it, but what I did to get a look that was similar was to first paint it beige, then I went over the beige with an Olive Drab and purposely left brush strokes in it to give that striped look like it looked in the pictures I saw.
