I added the crown nut and try to assemble the seat.
It´s time to get back to fuselage. I definitely decided to use my wood fuselage as a master for molds and make a fiberglass fuse. Now there is question about the rivets. Early and Mid models of Mk.IX were with some mushroom style rivets on the tail and behind the cockpit same as Mk.I and Mk.V. Late models with serial No. MA. Also it was about the factory line.
Flush riveting: "For the Mk.IX, it seems that it was introduced with Castle Bromwich-produced airframes in the first half of 1943, It can be seen on airframes in the MA serial range onwards but might also apply to the LZ-serialled machines built on the same order."
