Well I actually thought about busting it up some more to look splintered and some crew standing around looking at it but who am I foolin'. I'm not that modeler. slap some glue on it, sand it down and paint it up again.

Actually I was going to say, "you can fix it, just pin it". Which you did, good job Bob!

She looks gorgeous Bob, and fantastic save. I cant see where the cabanes snapped either. As for the undercarriage, do you have some small bits of plywood about 1/8 thick? Just cut 4 pieces the same length, drill holes through all 4 at the same places and extend the arms of the jig or even use them instead of the regular arms, attached to the jig base. It should work for the limited amount of time you need to rig up the landing gear. Just remember some foam or cloth as padding.

I'll read this again to make sure I'm understanding but thanks. Will give it a go.
Just thought of what to use, a streamer on the strut!! Oh, Germans didn't use streamers. kicks rocks.

From https://theaerodrome.com/forum/threads/wingtip-streamers.12204/
"Streamers were used on both sides. Ernst Udet had red and white streamers on his elevators while Lothar von Richthofen had them on the lower wings and were red white and black. The French attached them to the wing struts like Georges Guynemer, he had a black one on his Starboard wing strut. If memory serves me it was Black with a white border. I think at one time he also had "Vuiex Charles" written on his streamer in white. I know I had a picture of it before."
What I am trying to say is the supports are made of 2 pieces each. Remove the upper support but leave the base supports. Then cut some plywood or thick plastic and drill holes for the attaching hardware and then bolt them onto the base4 supports and you will have extensions of the height you want. If you want to be fancy the new wing supports could even have a slot in them so the top and middle wings slot into it. Put a bridge between across the slot to lay the bottom wing on. Hopefully that makes sense?
