It probably will be a new wing, but i'm going to have another go at bashing it with hammers & dollies again. There are ...

Well i've a red one & a black one already, so maybe i'll keep this one green.

Yes, it was a kit from Frost, the one with a couple of paddles & a flexi file. The wonderfully old booklet (pre HSE police days) said not to attempt a vertical section on your first go, but hey why make life easy!
