Default Spitfire Hangar 9 Scale Modification

I have recently bought a Hangar 9 Spitfire ARF and i wanted to make it really good scale looking, i started by taking off that horrible glossy finish by alcohol sanding (mesh type sandpaper and rubbing alcohol) then applying a coat of Flat Clear Lustrekote, the finished thing is impressive, then i made the machine guns (8) because Douglas Bader used only machine guns instead of machine and cannons. But the most remarkable thing was the modification of the cockpit kit, i removed the floor and bought a Top-Flite Spitfire Cockpit kit, i had to modify it a little bit, i even had to put the floor the opposite way so i didnt have to cut the foot pedals, i also bought a Hobby-Lobby scale instrument panel kit for British 1/5 Scale Warbird. So anyone who has thought of modifying this airplane here is a little help.
