Got the wings put together, fitted the wheels, filled the unused cannon port and fitted the air intake. Also started to work on the wheel wells.

That's coming together nicely Ian.

It's been a long time since I built an aircraft, but looking at this and your 1:24 hurricane build, they are outstanding, just wish sometimes I didn't have to many builds planned.
It's a pleasure to follow your builds Ian.

Got the wheel wells detail add, I’ve also got the wings on.

 

[papa 695]

Wings dry and not a bad fit at all, not much filling needed.

 

[papa 695]

Primed ready for painting.

Fantastic work Ian , ive always fancied one of these but been put off by reports of a terrible fit , yours just goes to show that with a bit of care and a good dollop of modelling skills its no problem and an excellent result can be obtained . Off to ebay to look for a spitfire then :rolling::worried:

Cheers Tony, I hope you do get one I’m sure you’ll do a great job of it.

Brilliant - you've avoided the dreaded droopy wings. This model does have a bit of a bad reputation, but as you've proved, it's really not that bad.

Looking good so far Ian.
Must add that I like your painting holders.
