First job today.....the first photo shows two spines: one with fittings and cut down the middle (dunno who did that) and one stripped and ready to take the fittings from the ruined one. This is the spine where the back/middle part of the canopy runs down....the spine goes behind the seat.....

Ah, so that's what it looks like! Nice work Tony.

 

[Crimea_River]

Seconded.

 

[Wayne Little]

Thirded......is that a word?

If not I agree with Andy!

 

[Rocketeer]

wondering where this had gone! Had to use the search facility to find it now it is no longer a sticky. Anyhoo, I have just acquired a 0.5 for the collection. It comes from a P47 lost in 1943. It will be used with the Stang project as well as my travelling P47 displays

Hope you are all well. All my projects are no longer stickies, understandable as I have had little time to update the project phots. This year will see work on the P51 and the Hurricane.

Nice acquisition Tony. Musta been a bugger to get onto your luggage!

 

[Airframes]

[Gnomey]

[Tony Hill]

Nice Tony.....bet THAT would keep the local kids from riding skatebords on the drive?

[Rocketeer]
