So looking at the wings last night i noticed the lower wing section looked rather flat and slightly warped.

so i glued the upper wing halves to the fuselage first to help set the diherdral and also eliminate any gaps at the wing roots.

Full span lower wing half dry fitted to show the issue

Glued up and looking so much better, i also chucked the horizontal stabs on

Looks good. The Mk XIV Spit kit was a bit warpy too.

Good choice Karl! Got a 'Dallas' canopy if you need one (Falcon Clear Vax, 1:48).

Nice fix there. That was some ugly warping.
