Which one was yours? In any case, I guess that the Roden kit brings decals
for the early and the later types, and parts for several variants too. Must
consult the datafile about this. But I made myself the promise that I won't
open the box until december 25th, at 00:00 hrs.

So it's better to cut the ailerons free before gluing the wing parts
togheter? Wouldn't the washout of the ailerons be enough to keep the wing
trainling edges flat on the table surface?

To those butt joints (I was *this* close to make a remark about this) is
always advisable to reinforce the joint with a couple of thin wire pins.
