Been making slow progress. Wing is together and bandaged. Found some chap to fly her, let him try the cockpit out for size. Working on the wing mounting and fairings at the moment.
Starting to look like a Spitfire.
Hope you like the prop Pol ;)

Got the linkage sorted and the lower deck fitted. Been working on the wing fillets, lots of trial and error! Bit of a P. I. T. A. As they are a total different size compared to the plan.

The Ezekote turned up yesterday, so I plan on using it with glass cloth. Been working on the stacks. Too windy to go flying.

Cheers!
I always have the feeling the next one will be better
Glued the tail on and made the fillets between the elevator and rudder. Took ages to steam out the twist in the elevator, happened during covering.
