Great progress George and good you have found a use for that clap thingy other than collecting dust.

I've used mine a few times, even for taking pics like that.

Thanks guys. As mentioned somewhere, I stole some PE harnesses from an Italeri kit as the Eduard ones aren't due until July. Glued 'em together, and painted up. Drove up to the post office shortly after and there were my Eduard seat harnesses. Anyhoo....taped up the fuselage and test fit it to the glued wings; very happy with the fit. Photos shortly. Heading to Billy's Puddle (Williams Lake) in a few hours for the grandkids lacrosse games. A day shot became an over-nighter which is fine by me

Pics. I think the inserted cockpit will do a little spreading along the wing root. The front area is one place that I always seem to add putty but looks great with a loose fit. All in all, not to shabby

Test fit's not looking to bad George. Enjoy your outing and I hope your grandkids win.
Do you mean the two reinforcing strakes over the wheel bays? If you do, these were introduced as a repair kit for older aircraft that showed signs of the matal fatique in this area. Later these were moved to the wheel bay interior. So no matter where a Spit serviced but if there were the damages to the wing skin.
Good work so far George!

The strakes are there in the frontal Pic.

Wing tips on, a very nice fit
Last look at the innards. I just noticed that the harness parts separated while I was fussing about with them. Easy fix
After the Jays game I fit the fuselage halves together and then slot the innards in from below. I need to attach the harness piece that goes into the fuselage and that will take some tricky weaving
