I agree with my Amigo completely, Mark!  She's shaping up to be a real gem.  I built this model years ago and loved every minute of it.  Decals aside, it's a very nice kit.
Cheers,
Bud

A very small update.
I have added a strap on the fuel tank and the windows and gun. Since taking these pictures I have lowered the gun mounting a fraction.

Looks fantastic. Very curious how well/unwell Roden designed the complex struts.

I feel your pain! This has happened to me twice on Roden builds  :-[ Hopefully you can repair the damage as this one was looking gorgeous!

Am enjoying your progress and can assure you all of us have seen this similar scene with our own models at least once. Mine was a Aeroclub FE2b 1/48 the movers made back into a kit.

OH Man, I feel your pain! :'( Don't make any hasty judgements, she's much too fine a model to walk away from, and good luck with the repairs!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks everyone - it was touch and go and I was sorely tempted to bin the whole thing but I decided to try and salvage it. (A decision heavily influenced by the kind encouragement of everyone here!) 

After reattaching the lower wings I added the struts and upper wing. Not easy at all! You can see the area around the cabane struts needs a bit of touch up as there is really no solid attachment point, just a simple butt joint and it kept popping off. I would recommend for anyone doing this to drill a pin into the bottom of theses struts and really firmly attach them to the fuselage.

Then I couldn't resist getting a bit of rigging started!

Good progress and I am glad to see that you don't throw it into the bin.
Bye,
