Hi all

I have decided to build this spitfire from the MW Mag. It was in the May 06 edition, ive tried to look for thread builds on it as i have stumbled at the first hurdle regarding the wing, Dihedral wing braces, there is not much mentioned in the plane or book, no pics nothing, so i am just going to try my best.
I thought id up load some pics of my progress to ask you pro's,

What shall i do?

I have build both sides but differently, i relise that the braces will give the dihedral but will it be strong enough
