Default attach a wing???

I have a Bristol Beaufort that i bought from an auction roughly 65" wingspan but the model has not been completed due to the builder sadly died before completion.... He built this lovely model from 3 view drawings and is very detailed.

The thing that has me completely stumped is how the hell do you use the wing tubes to fix the wing to the body with in mind that the wingjoins outboard of the engine nacelles here is a random pics of a beafort for clarification or is there a better way of attaching the wings as i hope to get in to twins very soon (don't worry i'm not going to start with the beaufort) if you would like some pics of the model in its current state the just send a reply

Let me be sure of what you are asking. Do you wish to keep the part of the wings with the engines attached to the fuse and only pin the outer portion of the wings in beyond the engine nacelles? Or do you wish to use two wing tubes for each half of the wing. Could you make the wing one piece, lay it into the fuse and make the upper portion of the fuse as a cover over the installed wing assembly?

Ok, now with the wonder of electronics here is how my three piece wing is attached on a 10 foot Fokker F27.
The center section contains the engines and flaps and the servos for the outer ailerons. The aileron slightly overlaps the center section, so I only have to connect the linkage and not electrical. I used a dowel to prevent rotation and two Allen screws to secure the outer wing section........So far it has not broken off.......Tomorrow is another day.
Hope this helps.

Hope it helped.....uh,,,,,you might want to make a cradle so that you can service the outer wing parts.
This hobby is out of control.

I was wondering if that was a model of the Knight's F-27 So does it poop jumpers out of both rear doors?
