Joe, the explanation of how you created your base looks pretty straight forward, but with expert results. Yes

Finally, those dreaded compressed air tanks - hopefully this will be the last to be mentioned of them here.  Photo (from K5084.com) of the prototype after it crashed in Sept. 1939.    Clearly can identify them on the port side.

regards,

Jack

Great photo- thanks for posting that! Every time I think I know Spitfires, I find out I don't! :)

Thanks for the awesome photos as well as the narration. You've got what will certainly be a gem of a plane. I know what you mean about the early model spits; they always have been my favorite !
