Good progress Karl. I agree that the rear canopy looks odd and it should match the fuselage contour at the back without such a big gap.

Thanks chaps

Days off are great Vic.

Rear glazing fits the fuselage pefectly Andy if a bit thick, looks like it was meant to be posed open !

Very nice Karl. The seat looks much better like that. I bet that rear canopy part was made to be in the open position over the rear fuselage. The Academy 1/72 P-40M is like that, looks ridiculous with the canopy closed, but not bad at all with it open.

Looking good mate. Just reminded me, I need to figure out a way of making the landing lamps look convincing - just got solid wheel spats on my kit !

I agree with Vic. Going to P.G. tomorrow and I'm going to pick some up for my Spitfire. Am I correct in thinking that you transfer the paint into something for painting. Model looks great Karl. Wanting one more and more.
