That is a great result Tony. Very neat build. An unusual subject which I had not heard of until this build.

Absolutely fantastic work and even better finish Tony!!! Don't know what else to say Sir...I didn't know Mossies' had a back up light on the tail of them though...As an aside, I guess it was too difficult to drill out the MG barrels in this scale. Simply great build!!!

Excellent bit of work Tony. Great details.
Right down to the 'reversing' light... otherwise known as formation lights.

You lot are leaving me for dead!!
Keep seeing these Mossies getting over the finish line and I'm MILES behind... I've just spent about 3 hrs getting the initial paints down on the Aircrew!! :sad:
Anyway, excellent stuff there Tony.... Looking absolutely fabulous,(I could have just said "Abfab" there eh?! ;))
A cracking Mosquito indeed,top drawer mate :smiling3:

Thanks everyone for the great comments and the dogs award ! If you ever see this book going cheap then get it , its a fascinating look at the ‘highball’ weapons trials and subsequent tsetse conversions and operations . Its not very picture heavy but it makes a fascinating read , cheers tonyimage.jpgimage.jpg

Tony,

Now my turn to pay you a compliment..... That has turned out beautifully. Whilst I had heard of these, I hadn't appreciated the big gun was as well hidden/recessed as it was. I assume the magazine, breach and main gun gubbins were held in the bomb bay?

Again, great work.
