| Thanks! I'm open to all suggestions at this point relative to colors. I've pics of it in green, gray, and light gray and there's a stunning blue scheme for the navy version but I haven't really researched it yet. It's not the normal Spitfire so I want really good colors. |

| Your coverings are all so perfect. I like the extra stringers and effect it gives. Think I will try this on next build. Have you decided on color scheme? I have a pic of one at Oshkosh that looks great. |

| A belated Happy Birthday, David. I can say I've learned a lot from a young whippersnapper. (you) I'll be 80 in October.
I'm still a klutz but I am improving at a faster rate than if I didn't have your help.Jack G |

Adding 3/32" stock to the two 1/16" laminations which is the leading edge. 3/32" = 2.4 mm, 1/16" = 1.5mm. |

| Hi Leo. The stringers are 3/32". I would love to see your country! |
