Starting with the empennage, the first step was to align the vertical stabilizer and adjust the dihedral of the horizontal stabilizers.  Once everything was in place, I used a blade and engraving tool to add some visual sense of separation to the rudder and elevators.  Here is the before and after.

To properly align the wings, I set up a jig that used tubing through the center of the engines so that the wing lined had the correct incidence angle. The wing was fixed in place with a mix of cyanoacrylate and acrylic resin powder.  A fillet was created using setting type drywall compound sealed with cyanoacrylate.  It was finally finished with a heavy coat of automotive lacquer primer.

Here you can see the difference between the Monogram wing and nacelle vs the ICM.  I think it’s significant enough to make the project worthwhile.
