    Wings finally assembled and glued on the fuselage . There will be a little filler work reqiured but easy fix . I strengthend the main struts by drilling a hole in through the mounting pin using two different drill sizes a little over a 1/4 inch deep then super glued a brass rod . There was some sink marks on the afterbuner cooling scoops that i filled with mr finishing surfacer 1500.

    Very nice work on the landing gear, Brian @f-104nut
    Looks very strong this way.

    Looks great with the wings on, Brian (@f-104nut). Once all the big parts are on things will move faster toward paint and decals. Nice work getting the gear filled and sanded, and the metal reinforcement added. Nice job filling and sanding the ejector marks in a really awkward place.
