This was probably a prototype model, not a production kit.
All wing and wing tips are rounded. The instructions only say to round the wings and wing tips. Even the edges of the glider balsa remain square.
I haven't sanded the glue line on the outside surfaces yet.
On the right -
Notice the leading edge of the wing tips are a continuation of the large wing leading edge.
How did you keep them aligned while the glue set?

DeleteAt first I use very little wood glue on the root edge. Less glue is tackier and holds quicker. After that dries, if the alignment is correct, I'll add glue fillets for strength. If the alignment was off, using very little glue (initially) would allow me to reposition the joint.
