    Ian, thanks for organising this. It's given me an excuse to have a go at my first ever Mossie.

        Thanks for organising. This will be my first ever group build and I'm looking forward to it. I just need to get a bit more practise in beforehand.

        I am looking forward to following other builds on the same aircraft and seeing how the much more experienced people do it, and learning along the way.

        And having fun obviously

            Ian, can I assume one can post the box art & sprue shots prior to the commencement date?

            Kind regards,

            Michael

                    I have that too but will be doing a Tamiya NF version. Will be interested in what you think of it.

                    Someone built one on here not that long ago.

                      Yes no problem, but NO building until the start date Michael.

                            You can open your build thread and post the box top and the sprue photos. You can also discus your project but no building until the start date.
                            For tips and ideas as to set up your build thread, you can have a nose around in some of the other GB's and follow the lead.
