Had a chance to get a bit more done today.

Undercarriage compete, started on the large & complex cockpit/bomb bay section now - that will take a while.  Lots & lots of cockpit green needed!  

[nev]

I've got this sucker finished!

You need to go here to see some photos of her.

Gorgeous finish Nev mate. I love it.

[John Howling Mouse]

Man, I'm glad you took (and shared) those cockpit and other interior shots first---finished model is predictably flawless but your interiors-----wow!!!

Bows to the true master...

However, it was almost a complete disaster

[Captain Canada]

Great Mossie Nev, congrats on a marvelous recovery from that near disaster also. The windshields looks like new.

Always interesting to see how other people solve similar problems such as your painted over canopy.  You sure pulled off a significant fix there, Nev!

Now, conversely, Mr. Dumb-Dumb over here would have instead:

1. drilled 5000-plus pin-holes along the outlines of the two glazing panes using 27 number 90 drill bits (as they kept breaking);

2. carefully scribed along the dotted outline;

3. removed the painted "panes" of clear glazing;

4. used digital photos to ascertain the exact size and shape of the required replacement panes (forgetting all the while that the outlines from the aftermarket mask set would have worked perfectly well for this);

5. cut out the requisite pair of panes from .010" clear styrene;

6. glued these carefully cut bits of clear plastic into place, forgetting to first Future-coat them----resulting in crazed plastic and those sexy glue smears;

7. re-done steps 5 and 6 above;

8. finally (but not unexpectedly) break the fragile canopy frame;

9. gone to hobby shop and bought another Mossie kit; repeat ALL steps above.
