So I better throw my hat into the ring Be doing this to start off: I have a resin cannon/gun bay set for it but I think this one will be OOB (except for some seatbelts and a/m stencils): I have another waiting in the wings so it might get the "after market" treatment.... i built this same kit last year (a/m decals for the banff strike wing) but for some reason in the (LONG wait!) build up to the GB i've taken it out of the box almost every weekend and honestly got excited about the build. not sure if that says more about me or airfix being celebrated..... anyways, here's to a great GB!

Hello Everyone ... Been busy down in the Group builds area. However im still managing to finish other projects. Heres the first Mosquito Ive built since i was 15. I used Tamiya’s 1/48 Mk.VI Fighter and the kit decals for a plane that was assigned to 143 Squadron Banff Wing. I found photo’s of this Mosquito using the Double rail rockets, and wing slipper tanks. I scratch built the Rocket fences that would go between the Rocket rails and the slipper tanks. Im hoping you like it. I opted to leave the plane unarmed to show the bomb bay detail and the Rocket fence details. The only issue is related to a mixup caused by me while decaling. I wasn't paying attention and didn't align the fuselage roundels and codes correctly. Without further talk I give you my Mossie. 1st some build photos And now the Finished Mossie. I hope it meets with your approval and as usual Comments, question, and jokes are welcome. Dennis Im not sure whats next ? Harrier, Hornet, or P-40N but I will start it soon.
