Nice work on the additional detailing 
Just so you know, the instructions of Pack 29 show's paint to simulate cables across the engine top which would be far better depicted with wires.
Also, the cylinder head covers are added which could do with a RR namplate added for more realism.Tomick attached the following image(s):

Hi Tomick, Thanks for looking at my build and your advise on pack 29,I do agree that wire will look more the part so that's the way I will go. I was going to ask you about the Rockers covers if they will be included as I was thinking about making them. Regards, Trev.

Dave, Pleased you like the extra detailing, the metal skins have become a new experience for me, I found if you dry fit as many as you can you will see if you have any gaps and then you can deal with them.

UPDATE:SPITFIRE. 071115. FUSELAGE WOODEN STRIPS. In this update I have cut to size and glued in place 5x2 and 3x2 wooden strips, this is to help with fitting the metal plates, and to give the fuselage that more rounded look.       More to follow soon. Regards. Trev. Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).
