| SteveM | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 19-Feb-08 13:53 |  | | Views : 1465 | | DD was right, the Typhoon decals have a lot in common with the Mosquito decals. But I will probably use high res scans, the Gimp, and a printer to make my own. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 18-Feb-08 16:44 |  | | Views : 895 | | At least the clear seems to be a great fit. Maybe the 6th times a charm because, that's a first! See you next weekend. |

| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 18-Feb-08 07:53 |  | | Views : 816 | | Rear landing gear components used to create free spinning wheel. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:37 |  | | Views : 810 | | One nacelle complete. The grillwork is very rigid and just test fitted. Will be permanently installed as one of the Mossies final details, probably in 2009 at this rate. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 16:33 |  | | Views : 809 | | The plastic becomes mighty thin at the edges after sanding. Look close, the tabs were wonderful alignment strips and provided more area for glue up at seams. Priceless. |

| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 14:50 |  | | Views : 859 | | After all trial fitting and shaping, the 1/16" balsa sheet is glued into position to reinforce thin nacelle sides during glue up. Will also back-up any filler required. Thank you DD. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 17-Feb-08 14:47 |  | | Views : 822 | | Nacelle on left after glue up, filler and one coat primer at seam. Right nacelle glue up only. Any trace of seam will provide stencil for panel line. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 16-Feb-08 17:19 |  | | Views : 822 | | Don't mind the skewed left LG, nothing glued permanent. Learned that long ago. Screening to be used for grillwork at wing root/ fuse connnection. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 16-Feb-08 15:20 |  | | Views : 780 | | Low tack scotch tape holds nacelles parts together for trial fit. Light Coor's holds Moostang together to get this far. Quite the gonad breaker. |
| SteveM | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 14-Feb-08 16:58 |  | | Views : 1398 | | An idea I took from DD, 1-1/2" and 3/4" "tailwheel" from Great Planes to replace the kit wheels. |
| moostang51 | Guillows Series 800 - Mosquito | Build | 10-Feb-08 14:53 |  | | Views : 796 | | Cockpit on hold till wings permanently attached. LG aluminum paint drying. Lots of plastic parts to cut out. |
