Thanks so much, Kevin! I see a beautiful 1/48 Eduard Spitfire project in your future! I almost went looking for a 1/48 Otaki-Airfix kit from 1975 today. Almost.

LOL Stuart! I am planning to use glue on the wing roots to adhere the fuselage to the top wing sections. I am debating whether to use CA or Mr. Cement! So there. Get ready for some sniffing!

I think I am going to use white glue to temporarily tack the aircraft together then paint my dark earth mix which is basically Gunze tan... then flip her and paint the belly white. Then take stock of seams again.

Sounds like a plan!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
