I have just found a good way to brace the rather flimsy wings on the VF-1 kits. At a local Hobby store they sell carbon fiber strips. They are used to strengthen fuselages on RC vehicles. It comes in lots of sizes and once glued in plcace with superglue and the wings glued together it should hold those wings up nice and straight. The size that I got was .007 is came in a roll of 4ft, so it should last a good while. Hope this helps.
