Default RE: TF Spitfire build

so, here is the horizontal stab with the elevators. still needs some filling, hinging and final sanding. i had originally planned to add shaped blocks to the back of the elevator leading edge to give a more scale look of the internal structure and had drawn them up on the plans but have since rejected the idea since i don't think it will show up to well on this scale level and to save weight. i am still planning on adding the elevator balance tabs since that is very noticeable on the full size.

the second picture shows how i've sanded a slight recess in the horizontal stab t.e. to install the control surface gap cover (not sure if that's the correct phrase...please correct me if i'm wrong). i'll be gluing in 1/64th ply for that.
