Using Testors plastic cement helps the small parts 'weld' to the wing and allows them to stay in place when you fit the upper wing to the fuselage. I tried at least 6 times to use the PE parts and they came off each time. I do use a high quality superglue also, so I know it wasn't the glue.
Anyway, really looking forward to picking up some of the SE5a kits. They look nice, and after my experience with the Nieuport kits I think I'll enjoy them. Lastly, sorry about no photo of the finished craft, thought I had included one but evidently not. Will get one up asap.
