Nice work Jamie. Seeing that small entrance hatch has reminded me how small it really is - I can still remember the pain when I forgot to duck when climbing out!! Must have been a real sod if one had to bail out of it - and miss the wing!

Be much more than just a 'sod' if you jumped out too far - the edge of the door wasn't too far from the prop!

Great work so far Jamie! A question too...is that green a typical colour for the ammo drums? I would have imagined straight aluminium, or RAF Blue-grey or something?

Looking very good.

Evan, I used to think the door was close to the prop too, until a Mossie pilot told me it's way behind it. I checked it out on the now lost BAe Mossie, and he's right, it's a few feet to the rear. Far as I know, the ammo tanks for the Brownings were either a pale blue grey, or light grey.
