Now that is going to be a problem. These were generally very clean aircraft, which is really not my thing !

This is coming along very nicely Colin.
Yes, this does look a bit like talking to myself, but I've found the evidence at last. The centre of the canopy is indeed frameless. Another quirk of the pressurised cockpit.
Interesting Colin, I didn't know but it does makes sense now with the pressurised cockpit. Goodluck 
Coming on a treat Colin. Looks a very nice kit. We rarely see these late Spitfires built, most often WW2/BoB. The info on the box - 1963 and still in use.
Nice work Colin, it’s looking very good

Here's the Ref photos I found when I did my pink PR spit, TBH I did not notice the no frame to the middle bit, so did paint a frame on mine, Doh...
Hope its ok to attach the thumbnails here, if not I'll delete them, or I can DM them to you...cheers.

Paint, paint at last. I had a few reoccurring seams to deal with but finally we are here.
I’m using a Tin of Humbrol 230, simply because I’ve got it. I last used it in 2008, when I built a Swedish pru blue Spitfire.
As you can see, it is as Matt as can be.
And after three coats of ‘Klear’ a slight shine.

Nice work on the seams Colin. It looks well in paint.
Nice paint job. I'll give credit to old Humbrol tins - they certainly last.
Paint work looks good Colin
The paint behaved itself perfectly.
