My biggest concern was getting the top wing to sit plumb and square. I also used predrilled holes to pin the struts to the wings. I drilled holes in the strut ends and the wing locator holes. I plugged the struts with brass pins and inserted the other end in the strut locator holes.
The five colour French camouflage has aluminum powder mixed in so whatever paint you use mix in about 15% to 20% more for the fabric covered areas. For the metal areas use the straight coloured paint.
