Thanks guys. Bl**dy weather isn't helping - sunny one minute (for 5 minutes!) then p*ss*ng down the next minute! Grrr!

Looking good Terry. Hope the antenna post doesn't discourage you.

Thanks Chris, I'll have a look.
Nearly finished the model,and the antenna post has been re-done, but not much to show yet, pics soon.

Finally found some motivation and got some more work done on this one !
The antenna post has been sorted, and the rudder and antenna mast fitted, the latter being very delicate, which I suspect might cause problems when I come to tension the antenna wires, yet to be fitted. I was going to use very fine micro-fibre for this, but I think I'll have to resort to fine stretched sprue.
The tail wheel has been painted, including the 'conductive' tyre (which was a pain to paint), and fitted , and the main wheels were given 'flat spots' and fitted to the legs.
Just need to paint the antenna mast and post, along with the flap indicator markings, then fit the final bits, which are the aileron mass balance horns, canopy and retaining wire, the antenna wires, and probably the inertia starter crank handle (from the Academy 'Buchon' kit), plus a little bit of touch-up here and there, and it'll be finished.
I hope to get this finished over the weekend, as I need to start on another Spit for Max, so should have the finished pics by Sunday.
