      Excellent work Andy. Looking mighty fine to me. Where is the radio set (I think) front from? Looks far better detailed than the kit version…..no gun sight in that version though?

                Excellent short update Mr. Smiff and masking canopy's is pure madness!!! May I ask why you have 2 different types of spinning things in your picture??? One with pointy ends and the other with round ones. Just wondering..........

                Prost

                  Andy mate, have a look at the instructions….there are two types of prop in the kit depending upon variant, and you’ve done one of each……

                          Your secret is safe with me Andy.....I realize working out in the middle of nowhere all day long has its downside. Talking to the trees and fish, without getting an answer, does take a toll on one's mental capacity over time. Coming home and attempting to model at the bench can be very stressful, to say the least...Especially, if the parts don't answer you either......................

                          I'll get my coat now..................

                          Prost

                                I’m having my doubts here. You say your not an aircraft builder, but then produce a Mosquito, at this high level of finish. I mean, the figures are outstanding.
                                Right, cards on the table, I think you sir, are a closet aircraft builder, but are too afraid to tell your armour friends.
                                Look, it’s ok, just join our gang instead. Easy.
