Those wing gaps were the biggest flaw on an otherwise excellent model... If you don't want the wings to fold, you could glue them shut. Maybe using a little glue to beef up the little pegs/tabs on the wings so that they close tighter might help?

The wings will go together tighter. You'll need to take an exacto knife and carefully trim of the extra material around the tabs. Then the wings will press together tighter

thanks for the replies, I'm not averse to the gluing answer, but the wings simply don't want to tighten any farther, so I'' do some trimming, thanks
