Strut and wire damage.
I am now getting close to the fun part of doing some weathering and fire damage to the fuselage and putting it on its sled base.
After reviewing some pics of nose over damage to biplanes, a few things seem evident.The wire and strut cage of the wings seems to be very strong.Often the center section N struts will bend or break more readily.With this in mind I left the overall wings pretty much intact, but bent a few things at the wing root and the center section.It is hard to tell how the landing and fling wires would be affected,which ones would be slack and which overstressed, so I have not yet clipped of the excess wire.
