That is looking lovely!

I can check my Mk5 if you like? The Mk1 will not be ready for such a measurement for about 8 weeks.

Some detailed phots of your screen frame would be very very appreciated please..cheers

Would that be a Spitfire I, Tony? ;):D

I couldnt obtain a front screen and my attempts to amke one were a disaster so i bought a GRP one from GateguardsUK who also supplied the perspex.
However my fuselage just (hopefully) looks like a Spitfire and yours is built as per original.
Any chance you can check for me the angle between the canopy rail and the front hoop. I suspect I may need to make some adjustments, so that my canopy will fit.

Would be interested on the details for that Robert if you would be kind enough to PM with them I have patterns for the side perspex that you are more than welcome to borrow to compare them with as I said to you on our last meeting you only have to ask and if we have it its available.
