Hi Stoney,
As far as my addled memory serves--it is the centre-section (i refuse to call them 'cabane' which seems to be the trend these days) struts that are too long. This gives the upper wing Anhedral---or at the least a serious Bow!!
also out the box it lacks the characteristic--one could say trademark--upsweep of the upper fuse. longeron level at rear---and the tailplanes are flat plate as opposed to symmetrical section. ( Fin/rudder/elevators are o.k. as flat)
also the tailplane profile is wrong--but just needs some careful 'rounding' to correct----best to make a new one though if you want to correct both faults.
The troughs where all struts fit (due to the 'ties' on the struts) are best filled--but in the later builds i did---first built it when it was first released--i removed all wing rib details on lower surfaces, and greatly reduced them on uppers.
Phew!--sorry to go on mate---but plenty of guys here to help out--as you go.
Cheers,
Dave.
