Hi all, After having our first walk out today walking the dog, I decided this eve to attack the aerial and comms wire, the idea was to drill a tinny narrow pilot hole in the front edge of the tail, (not the easiest operation) - so right, I tried it but combination of not being able to see what I was doing and tiny hand drill bit drifting - result a few scratches where the bit had drifted, eventually a pilot hole was made, next job was to push the end of a piece of fuse wire into the hold and add a bit od ca to hold it, then I glued the PE aerial put a pool of CE around the base and heated it with hairdryer. Then I tried to pull tight and glue (again with CE) the wire to the aeriel - but this was a fiddly not very sucessful operation so I gave up cut the wire away and just left the aerial in place to set. So I have given up on the idea of a comms wire and have marked the tail a bit (never mind) OC.

Looking good, always a seminal moment when we glue the fuse halves together - kind of no going back. OC. -
Looking great Denis, and the plane aint half bad either. OC.

I cant match the family numbers here apart from an estranged brother, myself and the admiral are loaners with no family and we both have no children, but to be honest its just what we know and how it is. OC. -
Really nice work Denis, those canopy frames are fiddly to paint - they need the tiniest of brushes, a steady hand and good light, I have even tried making by hand using tamiya tape - still fiddly trying to run a blade inside the edge of the frame to get the glazing shape. She is coming on really nice. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis, yep props/spinners to be attached after they have had thier flat coat, then the entrance ladder and comms wire between aerial (still need to fit) and a couple of bits under the wing. Oh - and the bombs need painting. OC.
-
You work like lightning mate - very nice work on them hulls. OC.

Thanks EG.👍 OC.

So Lou got me thinking and studying and I came to a kind of conclusion - some of the Mossie's were combined Pathfinder and Bombers, perhaps they kept cameras in the bom bays and when changed over to bombing duties - the windows were retained but the cameras removed. I found a pic on the net of a Bomber varient with windows in the doors. OC.
