    Hello mixtec,
    I doubt BoB WoV will be released then, not from reading the current postings at the BoB WoV forum, it’s still being worked on.

    Latest part to be made for the project is the oxygen bottle cradle. The original item was a casting, the replica frame was cut and machined from two aluminium billets.

    TN and Elliott,
    thanks for the kind word chaps, though you will have to forgive any inaccuracy. Most of the parts and fittings are made from either photos or a few general assembly drawings, which is not the best way to reproduce something, but better than nothing.

    Thanks for the interest,
    Dave

    Another small project update. Thanks to some better reference material (thank you Damien B) the pilots windscreen is being re worked to look a little more realistic, i have also been waiting for some information on thermal forming polycarbonate sheet, and hope to make the top glazing panel for the windscreen. another part made for the project is the cockpit door catch assembly.

    Hello Dave,
    some wartime colours still exist in the British Standards paint range, and as such must match the original standard. So it may be worth while contacting them.

    Just a thought.

    aj march, the project was started May 2004, It would be hard to give a completion time, as there are a few items i will re make now i have better information.

    AVI
    I have a very humble workshop at home, so i can fabricate and machine the parts i need to. The sheet metal side of the project was, and still is a big learning curve for me, as i had no experience of that until i started the build.

    Thank you for the kind words and the interest chaps.
