Default Challanger Build Help

Hi all I am about half way through my latest project, it is a model from the 80's called a "Chalanger" this is one of the early "Turn About" planes
designed to be flowen with a OS FS 120 it was featured in RCM & E (British Mag) and then in Airborne issue 111 here in Australia. I was very lucky to
purchase a glass short form kit from a fellow club member. I supect this is a very rare kit as they were only sold via mail order for a short time and at $300.00 a very few would have sold.

The problem is I am not sure how to fit the belly pan under the wing, Do I glue it to the wing as was done in other planes I have built or do I make up the pan
like a Hatch so it held on with screws or hatch clips ?

As you can see the fuse has a recess at each end of the wing to take the pan that that makes me think a hatch setup was what was intended.

I have posted photos of what the model will look like and photos of my problem.

Thanks in advance

John
