I am building the RV-8 fuselage. I have not ordered wings. The kit came with the Center Section. In the old days, the Center Section came with the wing kit. No Longer. The new, matched-hole -1 fuselage kit can be built first, without ordering the wing kit. In your case, I would order the entire kit, empennage, fuselage and wings. Store the wing kit somewhere until ready. You will save a ton of money in shipping to Sweden if you order all at once.

I have the older wings that came with the center section. I'm just about done building the newer (2011) fuselage with the newer center section. I havnt fit the wings yet but vans told me not to use the older center section. I sure hope the wings fit properly.

OK
As it is now, i have ordered everything incl FWF except the wings, due to many reasons, lack of storage area, exchange rate is very up and down at the moment, and 8 months lead time for only QB wings... So i decided to get everything done so i can just put the wings on before flying...
