some tine /copper and a soldering iron should put it rite again with no trouble at all.

Quite looking forward to the end result, especially as it was nearly thrown out.

Also, I'm hoping to get the prop removed to see what type the bullet actually is?

Made up with the interest

Well the restoration has begun, and the bullet is a three part construction.

The inner bullet is the same size as a 303 - dated 1915.

An outer piece, also 1915 and a prop that was soldered into the outer piece.

I believe they are 7.92 Mauser bullets.

The bottom left of the bullets picture, the markings are the same, number, letter and year and S67.

More pictures to follow..

Well, I've got some great pictures to update the restoration process.

Tail plane, rudder and wheels now added.

I think it looks fantastic as it comes back to life, after all those years..

There may have been wires, from the holes in the wings to the cockpit pole?

It's my new little toy and I'm made up with it.

Hope you enjoy the pictures
