You all need a trip to the Step , but I'll grant you a second chance to behave yourselves The wings have been glued into place, I must say that I am quite happy with the fit . The tail wings need a little clean up and checking for possible raised joins, but the main wing is as far as I can tell near to bloody perfect The motor is only dry fit, it holds itself inp lace without any tape or bluetack being used

Jeff, Boots, Bert, Ian, Kari, thank you kindly my dear fellows . Kari, it was your build that pushed me to start this one, and don't worry it might slow down a tad yet . Today I decided to have a go at pre-shading the panel and rivet lines . It's far from perfect but I hope it will add some life to the upcoming top colour. I also masked and sprayed the the glazing. Thankfully you get two main canopy parts in the kit. The open version I have masked and sprayed separately, the closed rear section is being used as a mask for the painting. A plus with the canopies is, if I screw one up, I can use the other . The engine cowl, prop and reflex sight have also been sprayed in semi gloss gloss black.
