Just a quick one regard pin marks. I read somewhere (sorry, not a chance I can remember) that what look like ejector pin mark's , on the inside of the cockpit, actually represent a genuine characteristic of the real thing. We need interior pics to confirm or deny my sad old memory !

The original Mossies had circular wooden discs bonded into the structure to allow for mounting various bits and pieces later.

I can second this one. The round circles in the cockpit are part of the pit.

Coming together nicely Peter. Watching this one with interest.

Started to add detail to the cockpit sides and part of the tail wheel assembly and finally got the two sides sewn up everything is very tight fitting but goes together without much drama.[ATTACH]292843[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292844[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292845[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292846[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292847[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292848[/ATTACH]
