Thanks for the reply, yes Lexan is used but the window with the blue protective cover is acrylic, it is much harder to work on as it shatters easily and Lex had to use some creative words to show his opinion about this product. We were wondering about the sensitivity of the Lexan regarding paint. So everything should be properly masked off before painting then?
Time for an update, space is getting restricted inside with all those windows getting in the way. Shame on me for keeping retired Lex so active:rolleyes:
Well I paid less for my control column, but at the time (2003)I thought it was a steep price, it still is the most expensive part I bought for the cockpit project. But as I thought there wouldn’t be a second chance (figures) I did it and never had any regrets about it.
That was the first Spitfire I ever saw up close while at Overloon in gloss blue and D-Day stripes, there was a tarpaulin over the canopy as it was probably smashed. It looked terrible at the time. That was 1984.
