Mosquito PR1

[Horatio Gruntfuttock]

I have found three Mossies in the stash and decided to finish them off. The Airfix one will be this one, inside the cover of the Lucas book on PR and bomber Mosquitos

And will be converted to the PR1 using the Paragon proto-type parts with the addition of scratch-built nose scoops which are not provided. The work will involve shortening the nacelles using the resin parts, altering the intakes and exhausts on the nacelles, rescribing the flaps, a new canopy (Falcon), a new interior as Airfix provides nothing, and grafting on a new bomber-style nose .
I used a left-over Matchbox bomber nose which fitted reasonably well and detailed the cockpit with lots of wee bits of plastic as shown below.

The wing tabs will have to be modified to fit around the interior work.
Next I will be painting this and the rest of the construction can commence.
