So I need help with mounting the wings and horizontal stabilizer and making them symmetrical.
I have the fuselage of the thunder bolt put together but the engines, wings, vertical and horizontal stabilizer are not attached.

I was wondering if I should mount the wings first and then heat them to make them symmetrical and even or get them close to even first and then mount them?

Let me know what you think? All advice is welcome, also what should I do with the tail section? thanks!

As with any model-assembly - PICTURES are always a good option if you want advice.

We can use them to get a better idea of what you are asking that way.

I'm assembling a T-bolt at the moment (for a friend, who is hopeless with resin models) and it isn't presenting me with any issues (but I don't think it's an 'actual' FW model, if you get my drift - the casting's too clean).

Always fix parts before assembling anything, I can't imagine how hard it would be to straighten warped resin without softening and distorting the adjacent part as well.

Also, as chromedog said, the Thunderbolt is pretty straightforward. As long as you make sure all the parts are straight (flat surfaces are flat, etc) it should all go together symmetrically without any problems.
