bumpy looking things on the leading edge, inboard of your new cannon ? I
think I see two by the wheel well. Or are they landing lights ?
Charles | Couple are sprue remainders as Matt has said and one is the gun camera port, which is rather ordinary....probably replace it.
I make sure they don't interfere with the assy and then remove after the wing sections are glued together....see below!

Country: | Wings are now assembled and most of the general sanding is done, still some spots for filling and a bit more detail work to improve...

Country: | The only way my sprue marks go away is when I paint them Wayne.... Sand them and they decrease in size, but then the sanding starts to affect the leading edge, and at that point, Im done....

Country: | Dan you just have to work along the leading edge some and around the curvature to blend the sanding and keep the 'roundness' of the shape.
There should be more than enough plastic to retain the roundness, if there is a mismatch/step use some filler to help, same goes for gaps...and blend it into the rounded shape if you need to apply extra filler so be it...
The main thing is light sanding and checking as you go...
Wait till you see one of the gaps I will have to contend with once I fit the wing to the fuselage!

Country: | 600 still gives a good result mate, ok try this little trick cut out a couple of pieces and rub them together. the resulting 'sanding' will create finer grit to work with!
