UPDATE!!!
so as told earlier now it will be dead slow build :giggle:
what i was able to do this weekend was sanding and just sanding its a laborious work...
sanded the LE and some portions of wing for smoothness and now it looks like a single wing not three parts of wing(mid section and two seperate wing)....

anything you guys like to tell me to make this build more interesting is always welcome :)
