Fantastic looking cockpit John. Are those the kit PE belts? They were the reason mine ended up on the SOD before I ripped them out and started over. 

Carl

Yep, those are the kit PE belts. :)

Fabric belts would probably look better but I decided to go on and use the kit belts.

Great pics Jeff. That cockpit looks as tight as you like. Just read a book concerning Mossie night intruders and the author quotes that  Mossies built by London Transport were 2 inches wider in the cockpit than ones built by De Havilland. That would send TOS into a tail spin................

Have you seen all the ejection pin marks ? :angry: 

Would not pass muster in an IPMS competition :rtfm: ...

Hubert :lol:

 

 

 

PS : if anyone does not know, those circles were in fact internal reinforcements of the wooden hull, to afix various instruments and equipments

YES they were reinforcement circles, and yes they are very much meant to be there............. good catch Hubert, but yes they are an absolute..

Too bad Tamiya didn't include rockets in their kit and the Aviaeology ones are still MIA.

Wouldn't it be better to post those pics on their own thread? <_<

Sorry John, I can move them out of here for you. Just thought it would be easier for you to reference them here. 

Carl

Not a BIG deal Carl, just a little irritating. That has long been one of my pet peeves.  ;)

Go on and leave them where they are. Great pics.
