Evening all. some good progress today - first I worked on the stabs, they needed a bit of scribing then they were glued in place, next was the rudder - not much fuss just glued straight on, next I worked on the cockpit glazing this was masked using tamiya tape, I placed a larger than needed piece onto glazing then cut away the excess, after completing the nose glazing and rear section they were then glued down.
Here are a few pics also showing my other spit (that wanted to get in on the photo shoot).

I thought about that, but I don't think it would match when finish is applied. I don't think the glue/sawdust will stain like the wood.

I guess its different if you are painting the Hull like I did - then it wouldn't matter so much.

Do you know what I would do Mark? mix up some saw dust past and rub that in, let it dry completley then do a bit of light sanding, the saw dust/pva would fill the gaps and sanding would blend then in and smooth out any rough bits or high spots.

This is the scheme I am going for - its an all over the top and sides EDSG with lower Sky, a Single Roundel on the fuselage with a Red letter 0, on the tail will be the normal flash and with roundels ontop and underneath the wings, this was a test scheme the Navy brought in before it was applied to the newer Seafires in 1945.
Its the lower one out of the Three, also thease are the latter model of Seafire with the Griffin engine mine has the earlier Merlin.
