I have some Pico Armor biplanes (Fairey Swordfish and Polikarpov I-15). They come with a top wing (no struts attached) and one V-shaped piece. The V-shaped piece goes in the middle somewhere, and the photos clearly show that there are no wing struts. However, I can't figure out how to assemble them. Can anyone give me some instruction or point me to a helpful photo? Thanks.

The are probably from Tumbling Dice not Oddzial Osmy/PicoArmor and this V-shaped piece should be landing gear struts.

Makes sense, but do I just glue the top wing onto the fuselage?

Yes, it just fits on between the engine and the cockpit. The 1/600 Yahoo group should have some pictures of them, and there are some Swordfish (and CR.42s or 32s) here on Fat Wally's page: link
