Yes, good thinking, John. Thanks!

I will make final decision when I have fuselage bottom and top glued together.

I am also tempted by very “crazy” or at least not very common idea. You know how wings gets into the pins at the bottom of the wings so they will never come out after fuselage halves are joined?

I saw the guy struggling with wings dropping, actually one wing dropping and it took him a long time for it to get glued to the fuselage winthout hanging down.

These two pins that will not let the wings to slide out also do not let them to get closer to the fuselage side to get the better fit for gluing area where wing root touches the fuselage side.

Crazy idea is, what if I make wings to be able to slide in and then glue them after making the mentioned fit as good as possible?

I finnaly tried Stynylrez Acrylic Primer White.

I added some Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver as nozzle was getting dried and it went nice. I think that is what the primer should be after it cures. Surface is hard, you can sand through and there is no peeling or edges, smooth transition. Love it.

I don’t remember any issues with the wing fit on the two I built, but it could be I just don’t remember.

Let’s see later on. I need to really think it over. I will post here.
