Looking great Geo
Interesting if some had the nav lights and others not.

With all here, Geo... nicely done so far.

Thanks Evan and Wojtek. It seems 595 Sq. was used for anti-aircraft co-operation duties over central and northern Wales. 7B⦿V s/n MB837 also had lights so maybe it was particular to this squadron and its duties

 

[Airframes]

Far as I'm aware, all airframes were passed on from 41 and 91 Squadrons when they received the Mk,XIV, with the photos I studied being of 41 Sqn.
Your subject certainly has the lamps, and it's probable that these were retro-fitted during servicing/overhaul before being re-issued. or these particular airframes were late manufacture examples of the total of 100 built.

From what i have read MB845 crashed on 12th June and was repaired, so wonder if wingtip lights were fitted then ?

MB837 was also in an accident with an exploding V-1 causing "a detrimental effect on the aircraft"

The canopy got taped and black based last night and sprayed silver this morning just a couple light touch ups left.The stand I built today wanted something lighter and more adjustable should handle a twin engine easy 16"LX14"W.Though you cannot see them all the woods Lyptus(SA),Red Oak,Black Oak and 3/16" plywood a project leftover from wife's little kiddie class.

Thanks Vic the stand was a necessity at this point the old one was just to heavy and big this will be able to handle the 1/32 Ki-45 .

Wing decals done, working on the fuselage. The band is a decal as well; I'm lazy and its the best fitting one I've ever used, seamless at the bottom join

 

[Vic Balshaw]

They look good George.

It's a beautiful Spit. Stop telling us where the unnoticeable "warts" are.
