Good Going...... by the way.... the ones used in wings are called Ribs just like in a human body the ribs give the aerofoil shape to the wings.  The ones used in fuselage are called 'formers' i.e. they give the desired 'form' i.e. shape to the fuselage.....

Well I been into aeromodelling since I was in School....  and then been in the air for over 30 years.  Now looking to be back into aeromodelling full time...

Wing construction. Groove is made in the wing and stuck with CA, this gives it nice aerofoil! Wink

Kiran... the Spitfire has been the aircraft i have adored all my life.  a few times I did get my chances to take pictures of the Real Spitfire at the Vintage Flight of the IAF at AF Stn Palam.  Well wish i could get to be in the cockpit of one.  Well I am planning to build a static model of the spitfire for my Drawing Room.... lets see when i get the time to do that. 

Your build is coming out just too well..... I wish it flies like a true model.

Best Wishes
