BloorwestSiR Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Great progress Iain! I think I included an extra door with the bits I sent you but if you need a couple more to use as filler panels just let me know.

Iain Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 Hi all, More progress - doesn't seem a lot - but a good few hours into prepping the sections I cut from the fuselage (including adding a 5 thou styrene shim to make up for clean up after cutting) - followed by some careful alignment. Removed sections now refitted in their new - forward - positions and glue going off before I add the missing sections from spare cockpit doors. Front bulkhead dry fitted (and taped), along with front and rear canopy sections from the kit to ensure spacings correct as it all dries. Rear glazing will be replaced on final model with a new, longer, section. Once I get the outer fuselage shapes sorted I can make a start on laying out internal structure. Hopefully the method in my madness is starting to look two-seat Spitfire(ish)... Have fun!
