Brilliant!!! I love it. It was worth the wait for the pictures!

..... and the canopy looks to be better than the AZ one (even with the stab wound which I can not see  )

I carefully positioned the pics so you couldn't Jim. 

It's a vertical cut up the line of the windscreen frame on the port side actually.

Brilliant!!! I love it. It was worth the wait for the pictures!

Glad you liked them Chronic, it was worth getting cold going outdoors and taking them, the light's so much better.

Nice job but the wings look a bit short.

Just don't go getting a cold, Kit!

Short? SHORT?!! 

But I lengthened them anyway, goodness knows what you'll think of my other MB5 then..........

I think Kit, when I build my Twin MB, I'll follow how you did your wings for the outer wings ----

That's good thinking Robert.

When I did my Tri-Stang I overlooked the wing loading issue, and with 33% extra fuselage weight (maybe more too as the centre one was a fuel tank) but only one extra P-82 wing centre section the wing loading would have been immense. It was either Gondor or JayBee who pointed that out and suggested that I extend the outer wings.

Naturally I didn't argue that point.

I don't think it was me so it must have been JayBee

I've been trying to think what your project reminds me of Kit, I think it's got a bit of a Spiteful look.      At least the wings do anyway

Looks good Kit

At one stage - late '98 I think - I was considering a Spiteful with either leading edge radiators or a Mustang scoop.  I may well resurrect that idea.

Sure does!
