I'm not sure I fully understand about the doors. If I leave a lip on the gear door opening surely the cut out part will be too small to use as the door? It certainly wouldn't be able to sit correctly against the flange.

The wing part of the fuselage does look like your photo so hopefully I won't have to add any reinforcement. I will have a look when I drill for the wings tubes. I will have to look and see if I have a wingtube socket as I can't remember seeing it. Hopefully it is there somewhere.

Unfortunately, apart from 2 bits that I still haven't identified and the main wing tube, I have nothing else in my kit. No wings pins. No hinges (apart from the composite flap ones) and no hardware apart from the bits in the photos on the first page[&o]
