Kevin,I think I had better spend a bit of time with Mrs C as I don't think she remembers what I look like ;)

Awesome job - is there a common spar for the wings or are they individually attached and braced to the fus'?

John, the outer panels are on tubes,the inner panels are glued to the fuselage structure with a 1/4 ply dihedral brace on the front and a 1/8 ply brace on the rear.Incase David decides to 3d the vampire I have gone belt and braces by adding extra 1/8 light ply shear webs around these joints and pinned the whole lot with1/8 dowels.

I do believe that is called "over built" Pete as kits go...... ;) Anyways, David only does 2D, but Jon on the other hand........ :whistle:
