That's some outstanding progress, kitnut!

The contra-props are a fantastic touch!

Thanks guys, it's taking a while but I'm getting there.  I want to get these two Spitfires done before November, then I can concentrate on the Turbo-prop Sunderland and AV-19 in the 'Clear your Bench' GB

Well as things happen, dick-all has happened to any model building this last month or so ----    :-X :-X

But another member has come up with another solution to make a 2-seater, Keith (talleng) has built this marvelous T Mk.22 where he found something more easily to use, a Canadian operated Chipmunk canopy.  It sort of matches Greg's original idea perfectly and I'm going to add a couple more 2-seaters to the build using this canopy.

Here's a pic of Keith' 2-seater which has given me some new ideas ---

Fascinating to get the thought process and the build process all at once!

Truly outstanding work, I would never have considered it... but it looks so right that now I have to wonder why. :)
