Great job on that old kit!
Hey Ed, this info is probably much too late to be of use to you but just to be advised, every one I've ever seen (and built) of this kit will crack along the centre seam between the wings due to the weight of the wings pulling down (and out) on the joint, if you can still get inside to re-inforce the upper seam try doing it, otherwise try supporting the wings at the tips or invert the model to take the strain off...you may get lucky, I and some other builders did not.
