Yeah I know.  But a fighter has to have a cockpit. Place for a peeelot to sit. Jeeeeeez    And with out at least a compass, how the hell does the peeeelot find his way around...?

Ok. Don't care much for the Hood, the imprints for the frame are much too wide. If and when, I may carve up a form and make a smooth Hood, so i can do a litho frame.

But NO, that's not now. I'll just fit the hood, touch up some paint and install the radio shit.

RADAR was the secret weapon in the battle of Britain, you know! Didn't hurricanes fly during that time?  Tongue

Yup. Except my particular model was based in Wick, way up in northern Scotland, where they could protect the ships in Scapa Flow.

All the interference from commando styled Highlanders likely made RADAR moot. A bunch of them were based along the headland, facing South East. when a signal came in about intruders, they just hiked their kilts....... Fun Bat

The incoming raiders would just turn tail and go home - no contest.... Your Scary

Haven't visited this thread for a while. 

It's coming along nicely Sandy.  You did a particularly nice job on the cockpit.

Steady your course.

WOW! This is by far the most tedious part of this destruction!

Trying to mask the hood for painting.....I'm not happy with the Vailly supplied hood - frame is much too wide. If the thing flies, I might try to carve a new hood and pull it with polycarb.

For now, this will have to do...gotta go trim some more....

Ah! that is an 80" span Stampe. Gradually converting to 20cc from 120 glow. Will be done in Belgian markings.

Having been to the opthamilythingybob, I figure I'm going to need larger, slower planes, so that's a start.

Pretty much the same as the Tiger Moth, designed the same time, but different fin and larger engine. It almost appears as if DeHavilland had a stray Dutch/Belgian technician in the hanger in the mid 30's.
