Undersides done. I now need to do some masking and finally make a decision on what the topsides will be

O.K. I'll talk ! Wings fitted and a view of the cockpit

So, Chris, is this to be a glider fighter, maybe to counter the Blohm und Voss BV40?

Working from Chris' previous hints it's going to have one engine in the fuselage with the prop in the middle. A cracking idea. 

[Old Wombat]

Yep, I'm seeing that. Very much a WW1 tech development.

Last ditch anti-invasion weapon. they were perched on the top of the White Cliffs and as the German's approached shoved off

You have surmised correctly

First of the top colours are on and the list of final bits and bobs has been made. Why do the "final bits and bobs" seem to take for ever ? 

I was looking at this again and thought of a jet propelled version ? Perhaps twin boomed as per the Saab 21 ?

[NARSES2]

Very little progress as I've been a bit rough, but I have got to the transfer stage. So that should get done this week.

[NARSES2]

Got the masking tape off and it's not come out that bad

I love this idea!
But the other ideas are very interesting too

Little known fact: Petter and Gallaudet were penpals.

Even more interesting is that not only am I old enough to remember what a penpal was but at school we were encouraged to have them, especially when doing languages. Do today's youngsters still have them ?
