Good to point these things out, is one an end piece, or are they both the same part, just mislabeled?

Something I forgot. There is a small error in the description file as can be seen in the attached screenshot.

Thank you for pointing this out, Starbuck.

To sum it up - parts are mislabeled in the instruction drawing. They are corectly designed and labeled in the template itself.

Next parts put together.
Tip:Before gluing, check that these parts fit to the wings. I first glued inside and then they did not fill the white parts on the wings.
Next parts cut out. I do not habe an exact idea how and where to place them. I hope my plastic model will show me the way.

Very good work! I hope you find the place of those pieces, the thread of Bigpert can serve as a guide.

Additonal question regarding bigpetrs part 6.
Why double? Optional which to use as they have different colours?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I tried all possible combinations and decided to take the brighter parts, as they fit better to the rest of the wing.
I glued them on an additional layer of paper to make them pop-up.
Pictures to follow.

The answer is: parts are needed on both sides of the wing. :hammerhead:I forgot to place them on the inner side - you can also see on the picture.
Meantime corrected;-)

Based on the small parts I decided to make a test to be sure to avoid mistakes. Most parts are on thin paper, only few are made of thicker paper, which was also one of the reasons for a testbuild. Never worked with thin paper before. (Beside adding an additional layer to a part.)
Here first picture.
