Ok...pic of the assembled wing...plus have removed the raised actuator cover detail on the trailing edge of the wing and rescribed as a closed panel.

Neat work. Airfix did the same with the flap actuator cover on their earlier Mk22/24 - a small irritation, and easily remedied, but could have been moulded closed, or as a separate part - and I'm not sure if the shape is correct anyway. Earlier Spits had covers with a rounded end, opening sideways, but I haven't been able to get a close-up look at the Mk21 onwards version.

It's the same wing Terry for both, also there is a missing panel line on the lower portion of the Ailerons too., that i have to add that has been missed.
I can't say for sure what is correct either, i'm going on info from other Spitfire experts on other builds/sites....

Thanks for looking in guys.

Nice work but I though this was OOB?

Well...it is isn't it...? I'm only refining the small portion that is the raised moulded panel to the closed position for flaps closed.....

Nothing additional there has been attached. Just a correction by sanding of a kit part. I think it is still the OOB assembling.

I agree, very minor. Looking good Wayne.

I'm fine with it, just that I don't know where the line is for OOB. Around these parts, once you get into rescribing stuff, it kicks you up to a higher detail category.

Noe meaning to cause a fuss. Let all the great work continue!

I'd agree it's OOB - if the flaps are up, then the actuator cover would be closed - removing the offending 'lump' and re-scribing is not unlike re-scribing after losing detail through sanding, and it's not really adding anything, so fine.
If I eventually get to entering the Mirage IIIC, in order to fit the seat harness, I'll need to open a small depression in the seat, as two of the straps 'emerge' from here to attach on the head box, so it'll be a similar thing - removal of some plastic to allow fitting of parts agreed as allowable - if that makes sense.

Quick bit done, scribe the missing trim tab on the lower aileron to match the top surface of both .

Gotta pace yourself Wayne, 10 more months left. Other than that, looks good.

Yeah, no one said which December it ends !!
Just as well, as by the time I get around to entering that Mirage, it probably will be December !
