Does anyone have any ideas of what the best method of attaching the wings could be?

Should you have a good library around, you may try this reference:
Sports Car Bodywork: Construction in Timber, Metal and Plastics
B.W. Locke, 1960 or 1961.
Great old reference, with fold out blueprints. Dreadfully expensive even used.
He shows a foolproof method for exactly what you are looking for.
I (insanely) gave away my copy to a kit manufacturer in Michigan.
