Default RE: TF Spitfire build

here is the fin/rudder together. i've included a couple shots of the hinge gap covering. this is the first time i've tried that and it really wasn't hard to do. the hardest part is trying to figure out how far out to extend the covering over the leading edge of the rudder while not causing any binding with rudder movement. the photo with the kit box in the background was to show the difference in the kit version of the rudder (rounded tip) vs. what i wanted to do (pointy tip) but, again, i've scrapped that idea. the other photo just shows some of the lightening i was trying to do in the tailfeather area.
