Bomber_County Posted September 30, 2023 Author Share Posted September 30, 2023 Bench time this month has equated to less than an hour ☹️. Life , work and the the rugby World Cup has taken its toll on time…….anyway, the Mossie box is getting a little light. The build so far, nacelles, u/c, wing all connected. Need to check fuselage seams before carrying on……..the Barracuda 20mm chutes are amazing…… 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 The Mossie looks great Phil. I can't recall if you're going to leave it with the panels off or not? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Phil Mighty awesome progress and your Mossie is looking brilliant. I used the kits 20mm chutes and yours blows them away. I'm not sure they were available when I built mine, but I sure wish they did. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John, there are a lot of minuscule parts to complete and paint but great fun. Not sure why people say this a mojo killer. Only started this 1st July after the GB and it’s the fastest I’ve built also with the lack of bench time….. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should John, comparing the Mossie and HKM Havoc for basically the same money here in the UK, I know which one I’d rather have for engineering, fit and detail……….Mossie every time…… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted December 22, 2023 Author Share Posted December 22, 2023 During my absence I did kick on with the Mossie. It’s been primed, fettled and polished. Then I realised I didn’t like the dropped flaps. Luckily I’d put the rear nacelle cover panels on with PVA. Some scary surgery later, replaced support bars etc this is where I am. Now it’s ready to join the queue for the booth….. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Looks good waiting her turn. I think I had to do the same thing with the flaps. I'll probably change it up on my next one. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
