G'day, Gents.
Thanks for your encouragement and support, it's saved this kit being from being put back in the box and put away. However, I can't blame the kit at all, there's something I've misaligned that's caused the problem. I'm not overly disappointed with what's happened, either, as everything I learn now will be used on the next kit (WNW Tripe) that I abuse (memory permitting, of course). Here's the beastie as it now sits:

As you'll see below, there's one area where I was careless with the glue. I've started smoothing this out, as I think the "fit and sit" tolerances on this part of the build are fairly tight.

There's one part that worries me- I don't mind starting the rigging again. I actually enjoy that bit of the build (and it's the part that kept me from biplanes for a long, long time). Which means I'm probably hopelessly addicted to #$!!&@ WWI aircraft, now.
It's all the fault of you lot and your brilliant models!
Rick, thanks for the tips. I'm going to touch up the paint work, attach the windscreen (my heart nearly stopped when I couldn't find it yesterday, but it was safely stored in the decal bag- exactly where I had put it....), clean out the rigging holes in the fuselage and finish painting the coaming. Then I'll look at how to sort the wing out. I'm also wondering whether pinning the carbanes hindered more than helped, by putting them slightly out of alignment. I had to cut the pins to get them off, so I'll sand the nubs off and trust to glue, now.
Cheers.
Dal.
