    Some more good work today, first thing was to fit the Two lens units under the wings - these just popped in with a bit of ca run around the edge, next was to fit the Two radiator flow control vents under the wings, these were then painted same as the underside. Then the biggy - adjust and fit the other main u/c unit, again this needed some sanding then a good measure of ca to get a good bond, the tricky part was locating the adjustment leg struts (I had to keep pushing them in place as they had some flex). Also here is a pic showing the first stage of the re - paint. So this is the current situation. OC.

    Here's the plan - My farther used to tell me things about his service one of those was about a Special version they were testing of a Seafire, basically it was a modiefied mk.III - the FAA where he was based had a small outfit there called the SSCU Special Seafire Conversin Unit, the idea was to see how far they could push a mk.III by improving the already established airframe and engine. They thought if they could make it breath better by putting the Two Rads under the wings same as the Spit IX this should increase the airflow, also they put on the pointed tail/rudder to give it more control, there was a few other mods done also. It was a sucess but a Griffen engine upgrade was coming online soon and this did a way with a few proto's that my dad worked on. OC.
