Seafire Mk III w/'extra dark sea gray' (shown) over 'sea' (the green sea) w/'dark slate gray' camo.
This is an initial line/rivet/hatch test.
Lots of work to do on this skin.
No big errors found on void yet
but many tiny mistakes to fix.

Great progress so far...
...would the chrome hubcaps get added as part of the finishing details?
Is it to late to ask for wing mirrors to be included too?
The Messerschmitt dealer down the road said he could do me a great deal and include wing mirrrors and a couple of gunpods at no extra charge.

All lines finally meet or fit or balance or whatever,
1) preliminary (relative) line weight tests:

- canopy
- elevators
- wing root
- gunports
- fuselage panel lines
- exhaust stack color coverage
- warped areas avoided/compensated
- etc.
initial detail work:
- rudder.
