The new Mosquitos being built in Auckland use epoxy resin glues developed for Americas Cup yachts. And, a lot more brass screws are used as well.
The fuselage moulds and the first fuselage manufactured were actually built in McMullen & Wing's superyacht building facility over in East Auckland. That first new fuselage went to the Canadian Air Force Museum for a restoration that was being carried out there.
All the wing cavities are given a coating of epoxy resin as well, so new Mossies will not have the delamination problems that the originals suffered from.
