Fantastic build Si.Great attention to detail.

Very nice Si superb paint job, great engine detail. My only question is have you got a big enough shelf to put it on?

Very nice Simon. Like that especially as you have left it open to see all those bits pieces & detail.

Really like the detail around the landing gear. Tried that on a 1/48 & failed miserably.

Needs a big shelf Simon ?

Great model.

That's a real cracker Simon! Did you have any problems with the build? I only ask 'cos I've got one on my 'to do' list an' it's always nice to find out if there's anything to watch out for.

Hi simon , what a fantastic looking mossie! Its great to see it in the night fighter scheme ,i think it really suits it. The paintwork is perfect , not an easy job on an all black scheme . Congrats on a monster build , 5 stars from me , cheers tony

Thank you everyone for the kind words i didn't expect a 5 star. it was a major build and took a lot of painting. i would love to do it again and do certain things better. i would recommend buying the die-cast under carriage because the one that is with the model isn't to strong and the completed model weighs a quite a bit. thanks again.

cheers

Thanks again to everyone. Already have another Mossie put aside at modelzone. going to ask if the mossie museum wants the black one and ill do another (joined last week). Want to do the one that is at duxford. i think it was used as a target towing plane. i love the colouring and i think it would make an interesting difference from ones that are already around. does anyone know if there is a reconnaissance nose for the 1/24 mossie on the market.

Thanks again.

Cheers

Si
