: Thanks for your quick response. I thought that the Peter

Yes, you're right - I was going from memory! Peter had the remains of both Seafires, hence my confusion! The rear fuselage is largely new, and doesn't incorporate any of LA546 as far as I remember. The fin unit would be very different anyway, as the 46 has a rather bigger engine

All the best
