AMR Giant Stick - Wing Assembly Continued

I've finished the construction on both wing panels, and am now sheeting each panel. Found a small problem with the W11 parts where the leading edge fillet is incorrectly cut to allow the sheeting to fit against it. It's no biggy, just noting it here for feedback to the AMR guys.

Sheeting is standard as per any other model you've constructed, I use masking tape to set the leading edge curved sheets in place, and I use bar bell weights for the flatter trailing edge sheeting.

One thing I have learned through constructing a bunch of different models, is when you are about to finalise the sheeting, make sure that you haven't left any rubbish, cut offs, dust etc inside the wing. If you do, this will rattle around when the model is finished and annoy you no end - or is that just me? :)
