Amazing work as always :D :) keep it up Wayne :)
 
Thanks guys.

removed a hatch from the fuselage and rescribed the panel line in it's place, fitted the tail sections to their respective fuselage halves and assembled the horizontal stabs....

Nice Wayne, I'm guessing the tail is separate piece to enable different Mk's or versions ?

There are 2 Versions Karl, early - mine broad tail , late version narrower tail with the hatch I sanded off and some extra underwing detail for rockets or bombs.

Excellent job on the hatch. Was it a raised detail? If not, what did you fill the recesses with?

Yep, raised detail sanded down.

Today I only had time to sand down the join line of tail to fuselage for both halves, seems to have worked out ok...

Thanks very much guys....fuselage glued together now and seams 95% sanded and panel lines tidied up....some nice big spacers in the fuselage to keep everything solid and allow a good fuselage to wing joint.
