It's finished, just in the nick of time. Here are some pictures of the last details to go on.

1) Harness on the seat and the seat and headrest installed
2) Wing guns
3) Canopy in place
4) Prop on. Didn't have decals for it so I scratched the lettering in with a pin
56) Antenna wire and insulators from stretched sprue.
7-9) Finished!

Still need to take the final pictures and will post the final thread later tonight.

Very nice work indeed mate!

I had a better picture somewhere but could not find it on short notice but you can still make it out in the picture below. It's a enlargement of that famous picture of Older flying in formation with other Tigers. The pink arrow points to what I believe is a spring. The two red arrows point to the two wires. The one to the left going to the right wing tip and the one below - just barley visible - going own to the left wing tip. The second picture is an enlargement of one of the only profiled of Older's plane showing the spring
