Hi Fred,
Glad you worked up the nerve to post pics. You're off to a great start. I really like the interior bits.
Regarding rigging, there are two main methods.
Everything you need to know about the eyelet and tube method of rigging can be found
here and
here.
Another popular method is the "drill thru the wing" method. See Przemol's recent Alb D.III build here in under construction for a great example.
You have two basic choices for rigging material. The overwhelming favorite for 1/32nd scale seems to be Maxima Chameleon 2lbs test fishing line, which is a little over .1mm in diameter. The other choice is elastic 'EZ line" or it's equivalent from the sewing department. I've never used the stuff myself, hopefully someone else can comment further.
As far as fixing the wing, again, I'm making stuff up here because I haven't actually done this part in nearly 40 years, but, here's what I've picked up, and what I intend to do myself:
1) take the time to construct a decent jig. One that will allow you to set the the wing with the correct stagger and alignment, and which will support the model and the wing during assembly. There are various jigs you can buy, or you can build them out of Legos or cardboard or other flotsam you might have lying around. If you hunt around here you'll find various people's solutions.
2) use a relatively slow setting adhesive for fixing the struts. A lot of people seem to prefer old fashioned plastic model glue in a tube for this. I'll probably use epoxy, because I like the fact that it doesn't depend on melting the parts in question in order to function. At any rate, either way, the slow set gives you time to tweak and adjust as necessary.
Hope this helps.
