    Oustanding work, John! As always!
    I am a big fan of your modelling skills, you are on the top of my best modellers list. I am waiting for FW190A or Spitfire from you.

    Hello John
     
    It is disappointed that the only 32nd Tempest available on the market has so many issues. I saw lots of finished models on a few modelshows but all of them had no flat wings. Great you show the manual how to fix that. Thumbs up

    John, google translator said that means "additional panel line".
    I found this pic in JaPo book, this additional line is visible:

    John, I was sure before you asked. I checked this once again. I have the same book as you from Jerry Crandall, this is the best source in my opinion.
     
     
    You are right, the port is highly visible. But if you look on the pic from Holand (war period photos) there is no port on them.
     
    The same is on the restored D13 as you said.
     
    If you look on the D13 cockpit photos there is no flare port on the main board as well.
     
    I saw that Jerry is active in your topic so maybe he could help. But if I am wrong sorry for the mess.

    John, look at the pictures of the real D-13, there is no flare tube on the starboard sideof the forward fuselage. Simmilar sitation is on the most D-9 (late production). Great build!

    Chuck,
     
    Those rivets are mushroom head rivets (snap head) and the are used to join rear area of the fuselage in early version of Spitfire (from Mk.I to Mk.V). As you said this Spitfire on the pictures is early version. Later Spitfires versions (from Mk.IX) had countersunk head rivets. So rivets in your model (Mk.IX) won't be so visible.
