I've not seen one of these being built yet so I'm really looking forward to seeing this go together. I've always loved the 1/24th Airfix stuff ever since I first set eyes on the Spitfire all those years ago.

 

[Guest]

That workstation looks really good! Only one small problem though. If you're planning to use it to build your Mossie, you ain't got nowhhere near enough room! You'll need summat like Andy's (Skyraider) loft!

[Guest]

well am going to build it in stages . and if I have to make it bigger just have to . just have to sweet talk the other half wish me look ..if I don't come back on she as killed me lol cheers Steven

 

[Guest]

mobear

 

[Ian M]

Thats a nice work station.

Where are you going to build the Mossy.....lol

So its going to be a diorama; what else are you thinking of having apart from the aircraft?

Ian M

 

[Guest]

you need to remember guys. that I just nearly done the (he 111 diorama) the wings on that are 70cm long .and the mosquito is 68cm long ..so if I do it in stages it will be fine . am going to start the engines and landing gears then they will be put away till ready.. then the cockpit .then body and wings . then underneath the mosquito ..so don't you worry people lol I will be fine cheers Steven

 

[Guest]

That's not a workstation - it's far too clean and tidy!
