Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone out there had any leads on or may have some of the parts we require for our Mosquito - KB161 project here at the Canadian Historical Aircraft Association.

We're currently looking for:
1x complete propeller assembly
1x Spinner
2x Spinner Backplate assy.
1x Radiator
Various landing gear parts
And anything else you might have, everything could turn out to be helpful!

**We're also trying to find a complete set of drawings for the ailerons or even a completed set of ailerons any condition if there are any out there these days**

You can contact me on here or email me at ryanorshinsky@gmail.com if you have any leads or anything available!

Thanks!

I recall Avspecs putting out the word for spinner backplates.
They even offered up a flight in KA114 once completed.
I believe they had to end up manufacturing them in the end.

Wasn't there a post on here about a year ago about a bunch of Mosquito parts in a shed somewhere? Somebody smarter than me can find it...

I think that all of those parts are being incorporated in to a restoration in the Avspecs queue.

Yeah as far as I know all of those parts are long gone from.. Getting more and more sparse out there.
