| Decided to try a scratch build Guillows DeHavilland Mosquito as the Catilina waits patiently in the background. I know I can build the fuselage wings and all balsa parts. Have no idea what I'm going to do about plastic yet. That's what makes this hobby fun. Anybody got spare plastic parts they're willing to sell? :-) |

| Bottom. Not as smooth as I would like. I can see quite a few stringers here that you can’t really see in the photo. Definitely needed to send more time sanding the bottom. Will require quite a bit more fill and sanding. All part of the fun! |

| Cockpit after painting and weathering. I will put this into the airplane after I finish outside detailing. |

| Weathers getting cold and wet in the PacNW so started working on the XP-67 again. I modeled the cockpit using Blender and printed out on my 3D printer. Photo references are really hard to find. I was able to find three photos on the internet. One is of the left side of the cockpit. One is looking forward ¾ view from right to left so that you can see some of the left side and the dash board. The other is from to top showing the dashboard, floor boards, rudder pedals and a little of the sides. I could not find photos of the right side or the seat. So I use contemporary aircraft (P-38 and P-47) as references. |
