I still pop in looking at this beauty Andy, and it just gets better everytime mate. The detail is just out of this world.

Have fun, John

 

[Guest]

Thanks guys for the kind words. I still amaze myself with these builds....all these years i have missed out an a hobby i never knew i could be so good at if you forgive me for saying so, i don't like to brag. I have a Tiger Moth for you all when this one is complete and it will fly believe me. I have taken the advice and decided not to fly this one for now, ill just bring it out the workshop every now and then and start her up.

Thanks again

Andy

Hi Andy. If you are open to suggestions for future projects what about a Swordfish.....

I'll get my hat..........

[Guest]

Looks like i started something here Ian. Its a great idea. When the time comes and if we still remember as we still have a way to go with this one and the Moth is in the workshop where it has been for a year now we will have a vote.

Cheers

Andy

Well Ive completed the cockpit details now adding the screen and padding. I had to make a mold for the finishing pieces at the side of each of the screen uprights, wasn't easy but it didn't turn out too bad.

The next step was to construct the screen. The kit came with the clear screen but i had to make the frame etc.

With this complete i have decided to finish off the pilot and get him in place next. I made a start.
