Thanks Bill.
Here's where I'm up to so far.
PIC 1 The tropical filter in place, but not yet sealed or polished.
PICS 2 and 3. The radiator and oil cooler painted, and the rad bath in place. Holes have been drilled for the internal bracing struts, and these will be made and fitted after painting, along with the shutter and its actuators.
PIC 4. Holes have been drilled for the rudder actuating cables and horns, which will be fitted later, and also indentations made for the rudder hinges. The tail lamp has also been drilled out, and will be painted and glazed near completion of the model, and the redundant rudder antenna wire post removed, as this aircraft was fitted with VHF radio, replacing the old TR9D, hence no wire.
PICS 5 and 6. the tail-planes and elevators before and after correction, with the ejector pin marks removed, the correct forward hinge line engraved and the old, angled one removed, and the leading edge fairing joint engraved. The parts have yet to be cleaned and polished in this pic.
PICS 7 and 8. How the model looks to date.
Next stage is to fit and blend-in the cannons, clean up as required, and then prime overall to check for any final filling which may be required.
Thanks again for your kind comments, and I'll post another up-date soon.
