Twas nothing!!!
Needed a break from putting holes in frames in Cad.Trying to get all the frames ready to be cut out and I was missing the Lightening holes in F18..DOH!!!Sooo long night finishing it off.
More pics the better as you get a lot better idea of how it looks and how it works.Might get something out of this..:cool: Cheers for the measurements Ian.Fills in a lot of the mystery.
As you say never can learn enough with these planes.
Panzer units..
There was a Panzer training camp half a mile away.Can,t find anything yet on who was involved.Dig some more.A good report on the release

Packards..
I think it was to do with the looser build and machining tolerences of the US counterpart.I know they had a lot of trouble with the MkXVI,s.Interesting that I haven,t heard much about the Packards in the Mustangs being so troublesome.
To Stuart
:p :p :p :p :p :p π
Easy fix..
A couple of big mean Rotties…:dev2:
Happy Birthday from Down Under!!!!
God you make me feel like an old fart..Only 35….LOL I,m only two years older:p Have a great day mate…:D
Nice work…
Congrats,who gets the job with the toothbrush??:dev2: The pics on the second page reminded me of this..:D
Patch
When Lz842 was still here IIRC it was a fabric patch over the chute port.Can,t recall if it had the firing mechanism in it though.Doesn,t look too difficult to build.A few good pics and some rough measurements and you never know what will turns up.Is the flare itself a standard size,like the ones found on the rack on the front of the Spits seat??
Just a little stab in the dark…
Remains
How many were shot down over the UK during the Little Blitz?Most of the airframe stuff would have been recycled.
Do you take Pesos?
Can give you some drawings for some of the stuff mate.Already got some stuff going your way soon finally.Rollers are being machined up now actually.What type throttle plate you after,an early,mid or late type?Deicer **** drawing just needs to be converted from 2D from 3D and I have to finish off the valve .
Is it,or isn,t it??
Sorry, no criticism of the seller intended, and I genuinely donβt know if this is a Spitfire seat or not.
It is!!!!!
Rounded curve
It,s an early Mark of Spit.MkI,V,IX with the internal curve being round at the top.
Great idea…
I,d like to see some 3D Aviation work in here as well as the traditional styles.Far more talented people out there than me.
It,s a small world…
Hiya Mate,long time no hear…
PM means “Private Message” and is like a secret Squirrel message you can send to guys on the forum.
Sir Bill is a bit crook with a tummy bug at the moment so it,s knocked him pretty bad.Yeah he is a godsend in regards to parts etc and has helped us out immensely with our little project.
Email on the way..:cool:
Huzzah!!!
Hey another Queenslander….Even though I,m originally from N.S.W..:diablo:
Nothing wrong with the old Allison below 15,000 feet.:D Have got some bit and pieces of Alli stuff out at the Museum if you would like to Pm me…:D
