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

Looking forward to seeing your build. Thanks for joining in Andrew.

 

[Valeron]

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

Nice to have you aboard Lee.

I have the Tamiya offering in 1/48 and maybe some aftermarket decals.... Long time off yet so time to ponder....

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.

 

[Lee Drennen]

Nice to have you aboard Lee.

Thanks Ian. I’ll have to get one I thought I had one I checked and it’s a Beaufighter not Mosquito

 

[papa 695]

This is going to be my build.

Nice Boxart I’m sure the kit will build just as good

 

[Miguel]

Ummm, Ian and I will be tackling the same kit. That puts a bit of extra pressure on the build ... :cold-sweat:

Not if one does the bomber and another the photo recon bird…….
