    Looks like there was a lot of mold release agent on those resin bits, my friend @grimreaper!
    Good result!

    Must have been grease or dirt causing the CA not to hold the resin, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Looking good now.

    You might pass on to your dad that he'll get a better fit of the wings if he attaches them before further assembly of the fuselage, so he can work the joint from inside and outside. Otherwise, fitting the wings is a real PITA.

    left wing went on more or less ok, the right wing not so, needs some filling in the wing root areas

    Nice work, Reinhard @grimreaper
    Those bulges appear bigger than I always thought they were.
