Dave - Thanks.
Also I'm glad I could help with your build movitation.

Just A Quickie:
This morning I removed the former and mopped up the water that had leaked through the tarpaulin.
It was too early on a Saturday to start grinding the edges so I left them for now.
Instead I set up the other side of the scuttle, including an extra section if I decide to have a curve at the end.
( Still not 100% sure how the scuttle will join the cockpit sides yet. )
Due to the uneven nature of the top of the scuttle I've been adding some extra bracing underneath the former.
Still I got the first round of fibre glassing completed before I had to switch to other chores.
Later on I came back and removed the new formers.
By now it was OK to make some noise, so I trimmed the edges, ready for final round of fibre glassing.
With the body shell turned over you can see the extra space I will have to fit the aero screens without hitting the Spitfire bulkhead below.
( Even after the scuttle edge has been trimmed straight / tidied up. )
I will also add some extra fibreglass on this side to strengthen the join a bit more.
Then it was all wrapped up again, as I'm supposed to doing something else now.
So I've got to go, Paul.
