I couldn't answer your questions Scott, I've never had or really spent any time with the Aeroworks warbirds. Lights for the Spit should be doable since it's all built up (no foam cores).
I've made further progress with the fuselage, the glass work turned out good but not my best work. I used Z-poxy this time but prefer the slow set West Systems that I've used in the past. The cowling blending turned out well and certainly makes it a bit less ARFish. A little more sanding and filling and it will be time for panel lines and details.I will say that the woodwork on the fuse by TF wasn't the greatest, they overdid the sanding on the rear section between the cockpit and stab so that it has the old "starved dog" look. I've filled it a little and hopefully with paint, markings, details and weathering, it won't be so obvious. I can't complain too much overall though. I may do another one after this, maybe clipped wings for the fun of it.
