What are you using to attach the brass(?) or other metal bits into the plastic?

I drilled holes in the wing and used my Hobby Grade superglue.

Guess that will work; I'd have thought something gap filling.

Yes I add baking soda to the Super glue for gap filling.

Ok the kit was missing the engine cowlings so I had to make them.I erapped sheet plastic around a 13 mm socket secured with rubber bands which I carefully glued together.For the fronts,I chucked plastic plates in my Dremel and held them at medium speed against a file until they were round and of the correct diameter .Glued them together and installed them along with the engines.
