Nice !
One minor point - the sliding Malcolm hood did not have vertical frames at the front and rear, only the lower, longitudinal frame for the runners.
The canopy edges were "rolled edge" Plexiglass. Current restorations do have the frame though.

Another great build, nice one Dave. 
It's been a while, but as someone who usually works in larger scales I have found myself in 1/72 scale recently.
First, a D-Day build. It is Glider No.1, a Horsa glider and the first to land at the Benouville (now Pegasus) Bridge, shortly after midnight on 6 June 1944. On board this glider were the members of No.25 Platoon, designated No.1 Platoon for the duration of the Coup-de-Main Raid, of "D" Company, the 2nd Battalion the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry. They were the first thirty of the hundreds of thousands of men who would land in Normandy on this night and in the following days.
Subsequently, I was gifted the Airfix D-Day fighters set, also 1/72. I started with the aircraft of Gefreiter Heinz Lienich of 11./JG 26, a Bf 109 G-6, werknummer 162707. He abandoned this aircraft on 8 June 1944, just two days after D-Day, following combat with a Spitfire 5Km southwest of Caen. He would be shot down and killed on 22 June.
1/72 is not my preferred scale, but it can be fun!

Very nice Steve. Love the Glider
Nice work!
Number four of five of these little 1/72 scale fighters done!
This a Spitfire IX, operated by No. 312 (Czechoslovak) Squadron. I did not expect the special markings to obscure the national markings - something expressly forbidden - but found a photo that shows that this was indeed the case.
