BlrwestSiR Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 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 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabric belts would probably look better but I decided to go on and use the kit belts. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 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................ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 Here's some pics from EAA this past summer I took. Too bad Tamiya didn't include rockets in their kit and the Aviaeology ones are still MIA. https://photos.smugmug.com/EAA-AirVenture-2019/i-xvJhzRB/0/b431f176/4K/IMG_20190726_135305-4K.jpg 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
