This looks great, love the lift-off roof. Makes the wonderful 'cockpit' show. 
Just remember to put it back on before the rain showers erupts.

Great work there Tim!
Nice job on scratch-building your door mirrors, I'm sure you'll be able to 'knock up' a brake pedal, no problem

Re: Tim's Mini-Mossie
Creeping in at the last minute as usual. 
Once the bodywork and windows were fitted to the floorpan it was time to fit the front bumper/grille, which needed some tape to hold it in place. After touching up the paintwork I added a finishing touch with an aerial made from a bristle from a washing up brush.
The windows are held in place by the body so they can't be removed now. The roof, on the other hand....
All in all a good kit, the only tricky bit was painting the window frames on the clear part which needed a steady hand.

Re: Tim's Mini-Mossie
Gorgeous work!
It looks great in those camo colors. And glad the roof can be taken off, to show that nice interior.
Bet it will be buzzing like a mosquito on the roads.

Nice one, Tim! That looks great. It's come out really nice!
