Looks like it.
Resorted to the high-tech method in the end.
The struts are not quite right but they will have to do for the moment.

Well, thanks to Haddock, the wings are on.
Many years ago, Tony gave me some brass aerofoil shaped struts made by Skybirds 86 and called STRUTZ.
I found them and chopped them up and here they are in situ,
Some tidying up and extra gluing still to be done.
They seem to be holding up so far.
