That is way too awesome!!!!! :drink3:
Like Christmas only better.
Thanks so much for posting. KA114 is a beauty!
I live pretty close to her birthplace of Downsview Ontario, de Havilland Canada
Nice to see her get a little closer. :wink:
Avspecs did a stellar job. I love the logo on the container. I saw Mr. Yagen wearing a T-shirt with that logo. Any chance they may be for sale some day?

The same Mossie outline stencil is used on the NZ Warbirds Mosquito T-Shirts (which they don't appear to be selling on-line, although they had plenty of at an event last weekend). I think that AvSpecs did a 'crew' T-Shirt maybe? AvSpecs have a excellent calendar for sale.
