Hi Max, Welcome to the Spitfire build you will love this build as it progress, and where you are at the moment building those wing tips just make sure that they are square it will make the metal plates fit better later on. Hope to see your build pictures soon. Regards Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Max, How's your build going you should be at about fitting the Leading edge all the way round to the wing tip, with mine I had to adjust the fit with a file so that first plate fitted, so turn it over and see if it looks square underneath, you must be about to fit your first plate one of many.

Hello Max
Yes welcome. I've just finished pack 8 and looking forward to the metal components.
Some photos would be good-nice to see other builders progress.
By the way my uncle lives in Adelaide-a ten pound Pom!
Cheers
Alan
