I could have strangled the bastidge ;^) But the keel wasn't damaged nor
the new ribs so the boat could be saved....

Still,, I wouldn't mind a nice P-38....or a Mossie....

With all those mad woodworking skills, (and tools), why not a (whatever
scale) Mosquito?

That was a pretty cool plane, too.

Great work. It positively makes me look like a wood butcher. g

Don't think I haven't thought about it about 5000 times..... ;^)

Thanks, but it came only after years of making fine kindling.....

I saw pictures of a Mossie being fabricated new down in Australia.
The builders had even cast concrete forms to lay in the balsa and
plywood sandwich for the fuselage. Brrrr, what a phenominal project.

Any idea how far along he is? Assuming he's using modern adhesives he's going
to have a fabulous airplane.

Hi Corky,

Wow a new-fabbed Mossie? Full size? Impressive.
