This strange looking craft just flew by.

I've heard of the pusher prop mossie. It flew backwards to confuse the Germans unfortunately they bomb Ireland by mistake. You still have to carve the giant rear view mirror for the pilot.

Lou I have just sold my model of the Projected Jet Mosquito,the original was made in mock up form at Hatfield and painted all yellow,as a pusher it looks quite convincing !

Wow! What are the odds, I have spotted the same aircraft this evening!



Although yours seems to be more detailed...
I see exhausts on the nacelles and a tail on yours.

Do you have instructions to add those ?

Jorrit

More instruction forthcoming. First of two videos on the Mossie canopy. The vertical fin may be attached at anytime of your choosing.



The next video is a series of still shots and is currently being up loaded to Photobucket.

Lou
P.S. You know those spy planes can show up just about anywhere.

[lastvautour]

Hopefully this will assist you in making your canopy. Let me know if this is insufficient for your needs.

Don't be shy applying the glue. Use lots until it oozes out and then wipe before it dries. I put glue on the nacelle and coat the entire gluing surface. I then do the same for the mating parts of the wing. Once pushed in place, use a clamp or Elastic bands to hold firm as glue will try to pull/push the parts as it sets.

Love the Loutorial's & the SMM link at the end.

Thanks Barry. These are specific instructions for a Mossie, so this is not the type of video I would like to post to You Tube. I want to lay out a plan for filming a video but I am not quite there yet.

Once dry, apply a bit of wood filler or putty to make the joint seamless. Sand with fine sandpaper. The final little dents and nicks will be done when we prime.
