Airfix 1/24 mosquito nfII/fbvl

Probably my favourite aircraft. Good to see a 1:24 being built.
 
Some nice work there. Do love a Mossie. I cant imagine where I could find room for a 1/24 scale one though.
 
If only the mosquitoes in my garden were that large and easy to spot...nicely done so far and good to have a large scale version of it built.

Cheers,
Richard

Thanks for all your positive comments.
Moving on I have the rudder fitted and the fuselage is going to some filler in places mainly on the underside and the front.
But I got away with it on the top IMG_20210214_092759.jpgIMG_20210214_093342.jpgIMG_20210214_092843.jpgIMG_20210214_092808.jpg
 
That's one big bird!
I saw a You Tube video about opperation Jericho yesterday. Most interesting. Search "the opperations room" there are many videos about famous battles. Land, sea and air.

Hi Peter, wow that 24th scale Mosquito a huge model double the size of the spitfire,, actually my favourite British twin fighter of WW2 are you going to model the fighter version , I had a 72nd scale as what I would do, look forward to lot of pics, the Merlin motor I built is different to your build hard to build made a few mistakes along the way .

Just caught up on this. Coming on well Peter. This is modelling on an epic scale.

I have finally got everything together so I now have something that resembles an aircraft and I will be going all buttoned up. IMG_20210318_105350.jpgIMG_20210318_105355.jpg
