So today I thought and thought.
Came to the conclusion I was making too much work, out of too much work!
So I decided my decision was off the mark. I used the Mk.V I.P. afterall.
Fitted the completed cockpit. The fuselage can slide over the pit attached to the wing top.
Did some aging of the assembly will now button up the fuselage and get all this ready to paint.
