Yes, that fit is not good, but you will overcome!

Lot of work today sanding the "dorsal" element of the fuselage; fit was very bad...
And to fix minor gaps, I'm using cyano.
Of course, putty will be needed for next stage...

When I see your notes, I really consider to convert Eduard Spitifire into this one

Thank you my friends!

Well, last work for 2017: sanding, re-engraving of panel lines, replacement of the tank cap on the fuselage...

Looks from far better now!

I have also lost since the beginning of the building the visor... Very happy to have bought some Spitfire Overtrees from Eduard!  :))
