Graham Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Well here are the decals on and started my attempt at the canopy framing using decal sheet (I used Neil’s Mossie as inspiration but it's not up to his standard) Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad's lad Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I think you're being too hard on yourself Graham - after watching this spectacular build unfold I don't think that the canopy framing is any less noteworthy than the rest. Gotta love the Mossie Clive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Thanks guys and cheers Ian, the kit has also helped as it is well engineered and if I can do it anybody can. Here is the crew door and the ice guards for the engine intakes they were made from plastic sheet, thin wire and some Arba mesh. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike in Aotearoa Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Hi Graham nice work o the Mossie; I've been watching this with some interest for some time now. So good to see you're doing it in 489(NZ) markings, too I have tp admire your perseverance; I started a Falcon Beaufighter, but gave up on it at about the 65% complete mark... silly boy! Cheers from NZ Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
