I wanted to show the materials used in the construction of the Hurricane, the plywood, aluminium and "linen" areas as if they'd never been painted.
Missed this somehow mate
Excellent video, really cool how you made the different materials
I would have sworn that was really wood around the cockpit
The Mosquitos were mostly wooden if I remember correctly…good topic for a similar build

I did a Mossie' some time ago, my first "naked" build however I'm really tempted to have another go as then I used a PE mask and now the Uschi wood decals are so much easier to use, and give a better effect as they have more than one colour for the grain.
if the 1:32 Tamiya wasn't so expensive I would have a go at one of them, I must buy a lottery ticket

Yes, that 1/32 Tamiya Mossie is what I was thinking
If I ever get to the Border Lancaster, would like to do one side skeletonized

Given the cost of that Lancaster I would think you'd be incredibly worried about slicing the fuselage open.
