We have cleaned the panel back to clean wood and then added a thin cotton fabric layer with toughening dope to make it tight. Then we have applied several coats to the fabric of butyrate coloured dope before painting in the Medium Sea Grey and dark green colour and applying the artwork. This is how the Mosquito was finished.

de Havilland Mosquito Grim Reaper Large
This is a section from the lower inboard wing fuel tank access panel of a de Havilland Mosquito.
It is painted as the Grim Reaper.

The Mosquito panel was made at the Walter Lawrence factory at Sawbridgeworth.

At the end of WW2 panels were removed from the factory and ended up as wall panels in a local barn.

The structure is made from plywood faces and Ecuador balsa interior with reinforcement from spruce and bakelite . The brown edged inserts on the rear are for the fuel tank straps. We attach a drawing that shows the panel construction.

The panel has a stamp on the rear which says S?EC. As it was found in the factory it was never fitted to an aircraft.

The panels were cut square to fit in the barn and only one edge has the original reinforcing and holes for bolting to the wing.

We have cleaned the panel back to clean wood and then added a thin cotton fabric layer with toughening dope to make it tight. Then we have applied several coats to the fabric of butyrate colored dope before painting in the Black, Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey colours and applying the artwork. This is how the Mosquito was finished.

The Grim Reaper was a de Havilland Mosquito B Mk.IV DK333 which flew with 109 squadron. It was assigned code HS-F.
She also flew with 192 squadron before being SOC in May 45

There was a further 109 squadron plane that also bore the Grim Reaper - This was LR504 which eventually went onto fly 200 Sorties.
The original DK333 was pictured with 29 mission markers and this is what is represented on the panel.

Both DK333 and LR504 were Oboe - precision blind bombing system aircraft. DK333 was one of the first Mosquitos to drop ground target indicators in a raid in January 43

We added a matt topcoat to protect the art.

We have added two slotted hanging brackets to the rear to allow wall hanging..
