Default Sig 1/6th scale Cub

Has anyone who built one of these got any pictures of how you got the wing tips together? This kit is killing me......I am up to the point on the first wing panel where the ribs and sub-ribs are all glued in, barring the last sub-rib, and the top spar and leading edge are in, as is the TE. I attempted to fit the wing tip bow last night, and when blocked up to match the spars, the front does not match up to the LE. Plus, the LE is at 45° abutting the tip bow, so I guess that needs to be blocked in after I pull it off the plan. I guess, though not in the instructions, that the top spar needs to be cracked, bent down, and beveled to match the wing tip. Oy, they aren't kidding on the box where it says "craftsman's kit"! Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated(other than scrap it and get the 1/5th scale...)
