Looking great Hurbert. The cannons look serious enough! I have the Freightdog conversion for this kit and I'm looking back on this build for inspiration. Well done so far.

Thanks Troy! I've got the Freightdog Seafire conversion too. I shelved it after getting a bunch done but this build might just get me to restart it.

A bit more progress on this one. I took the carb intake and opened it up.

It's a big improvement.

 

Then a slight setback...

 

I had a resin tailplane assembly and upon first inspection, it looked like a drop in fit. So I took a razor saw and chopped the tail off.

I wish that would've worked :)

 

Unfortunately, the tail assembly was quite a bit wider along the spine. So I glued it back on and got back to work.

 

After I got it squared away and back to where I started, I went over the various seams, rivets and panel lines to clean them up as best as possible.

 

I then sprayed the underside grey.

I've masked it off and will start on the upper side this weekend. I'm thinking I can still get it done before the deadline.

 

I think.
