That is one very well trained helpful golden squirrel. :shoutout:

Well trained minions are a god send.

The cockpit looks good Kari. The thing I like about cockpits is once you install them, any misalignment issues or similar that appear so noticeable to the builder disappear into the general sense of the complete cockpit. I am very grateful for that on many occasions!

Need to catch up with my Spitfire, but the real world is making it difficult to have time at the bench...

As with all builds, I want to include in my build one extra detail, even if I would be the only one knowing it... Well, it needs to be visible of course.. :-)

As I want to leave the canopy open, the "hatch" or door or what ever is called, could get a little bit more detailing...

1. the seat belt, hanging relaxed, just about on the outside
2. the locking mechanism
3. the sort of crowbar in the hatch, could also be more detailed. Anyone knowing the color of it? Black or red or something else ?

Must think... :hmm:

And the closeup of the "hatch" or door or whatever it's called officially... :quotes:

There is room for improvments... :-D

You are most welcome, Kari my friend! I looked briefly but was drawn away by the P-51Ds he has built and documented as well. A superb site!

Wow!!
