Thank you LB. You did not miss it. I didn´t mentioned that. I want to visit "Mega cup". Meeting of electric airplanes.

Can't wait to see some final finished pics. Looking great here thus far!

Prekin, That will do nicely.

I might have missed a post, for what event are you getting her ready?

Best, LB

[Prekin]

Wing roundels are done!! I am very happy with the result. Now I can paint invasion stripes.

[Prekin]

Thank you ausie! Actually I am in rush now. Only 2 weeks left to event. That is the reason why I closed the cockpit and started painting. I will finish the cockpit later.

[f4u ausie]

Looking forward to finished product,, looks great

[Prekin]

Thank you LB!! fuselage roundels are challenge on the fuselage, but I've already tried it on B-24.

[Elbee]

Prekin, painting your markings looks so much better. Nicely done. Best, LB

[Prekin]

Painting is in progress. Fin tricolor is finished, next I will do all roudels.
I was not sure about width of the white field, but I was very happy when I found camouflage regulation for RAF WWII airplanes.

[Elbee]

Prekin, Acknowledged & Agreed. Best, LB

[Prekin]

Yellow painted leading edges looks much better than stock decals to me.

[Prekin]

Spitfire is getting back camouflage. For masking the light grey bottom side I use our masking tape for very sensitive surfaces. As you can see, no peeling.

Jiri,
Looking great! Rex

[Prekin]

I am happy with the result of painted tail. Does not look bad.

[Prekin]

I added some covering tape on tail. Now I will do some painting to see, how it looks under paint.

2 more flights on my spit thismorning ,, loving the way it flys.. great power..,, still need abit less elev flap mix ,, will reduce that 4 next weekend

[Prekin]

I looked at the cockpit closer. Depth of the cockpit area is 40mm. It seem, there will not be a lot of work on cockpit details. Only some braces of the fuselage and small piece of seat. But on the port side I may add radio channel switch and parts of crowbar and throttle quadrant.

[Prekin]

Thank you LB!
I got back to wings for a minute and added flap control arm doors. Those I cut from piece of aluminium tape.
MG ports will be covered by fabric tape, but it may will be more authentic if there will be holes in leading edge.
