TimW Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 A question...the kit instructions appear to indicate the cockpit floor should be painted gunmetal. Is that accurate? Was it metallic with non-skid or something like that? Just wondering. Tim W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthony in NZ Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Clive, well done mate. I have been involved with an FB-VI Mossie over here for quite some years and you have the wear in the cockpit spot on. The floor by the entrance weathered just like that. I echo the other comments, the leather looks fantastic. Cant wait for mine to arrive on our shores! Cheers Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdthoresen Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Clive- To put it simply....Dude, you are the man! Love the look of the leather on the seats. One of the most realistic executions of that I have ever seen! Please keep us posted often! Thor, who wants an Airfix Mossie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
