I'm hoping you can see something now!

Struggling a bit here, any good?; https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipN_9PWQOwlLv-I9rZXukm69ngJ0pyZX5oDO7NLj

Hello, Due to be released later this month, complete kit in grey & clear resin with white metal parts of the Max Holste MH.1521 Broussard in 1/72 scale. With decals printed by Begemot. Image of parts here; This kit will be available from Combat Kits via ebay very soon, price will be £35.00 plus postage. Thanks, Colin

B.XVI/B.35 due back in stock on the freightdog website beginning of next week. Thanks, Colin

Which foreign nation might be interested in them, Saudi Arabia maybe? It would be nice if they could keep going. Colin

On Freightdog Website, both resin sets back in stock now. Colin

You bought it Tony, build it at your leisure, or rob parts from it, I don't mind. If I'm honest I didn't think there would be so much interest in the H2S version, having only seen three pictures of the real things, but most of my orders so far were for one of each. It is the B.35 I'm looking forward to seeing built. I should point out that Tony was involved in the decal sheet, not the resin sets, these where researched and mastered by Paul Lucas, so Tony isn't marking his own homework on this one! Colin

Thanks for the kind words, and glad the castings get Tony's seal of approval. The first batch of 25 sets of each have sold out in less than 24 hours, which is very nice, lets hope the next batch sell so well. This has left me with a slight logistical issue, in that Freightdog is very much part time now, and I need to finish the instructions around working shifts in the day (and sometimes night) job. So I hope to get all the orders out by the end of next week, when the second batch should arrive to start all over again. There are a total of eight sets planned, the next two releases are likely to be the early PR.34 and probably PR.XVI/PR.32. All the other sets need vacform canopy parts which will be done by Rob Taurus and may take a bit longer. Enough high jacking of this thread, Tony has supported me right from the beginning, and kindly offered his research services to. I know he will be honest about the sets, and look forward to seeing the results of his rapid assembly technique! Colin

Tony's quick off the mark as usual! Posted them today without instructions as I can see your raring to go, and I'm still writing them! Rest of orders going out next week. Nice to see my decal sheet being used. Sadly long out of production, and not viable to reprint due to cost. Colin

Yes, although the Xtradecal sheet instructions show it with a bulged bomb bay, it should be flat. There are some notes in my sets instructions about the scheme on the sheet. Colin Search 'Mosquito' at top of website and it should show them both. Colin

Hi Dave, Really sorry but I can't remember which book I saw the picture, your mention of taken from below starboard side does ring a bell, just not sure where! Don't read too much into the aerial fit in the four views, they were all pretty much the same basic drawing but with different marking options (except the Blue Steel was correct for XL390). Colin

I think I will wait to see what Special Hobby do, might be quite a complex conversion. First two sets will be a B.XVI / B.35 improvement set and B,XVI with ventral H2S conversion. Available in around two weeks. Colin

Don't worry Dave, I've done corrections as well as conversions. I have a one piece B.XVI bulged bomb bay without the TT.35 door detail, which does includes the rear section, and missing scribed detail. Also a flat B.IX and enlarged PR.34 fuel/camera bay to. Also Anti-shimmy tail wheel to correct kit part will be in each set. Colin

With the imminent release of the new Airfix 1/72 DH Mosquito B.XVI kit, I am pleased to announce that Freightdog have six resin sets due for release very soon, with more to follow. Masters are finished, with thanks to Airfix for early access to test shots. Sets under preparation include conversions for the B.IX, PR.IX, PR.XVI, PR.32, PR.34 and B.35. Images of test castings to follow soon.

I can still cast up the set if of interest. Colin

Really great result. I have three of these in the stash, its still a nice kit. Colin

When Boeing's were built to last! Quite a few seem to be active as freighters in Canada, fitted with the rough field kit (the stone guard in front of nose wheel bay gives it away). Seem to have found a niche for them. Maybe the lower slung CFM versions that followed are not suitable, and of course -200s are cheap. Colin

Found it, thanks! Colin

Can you give me a link to the new part sprue shots? Thanks, Colin

I have a corrected bomb door set already being mastered, plus other items for the Airfix kit. Colin

Freightdog 1/72 Lancaster ASR.III/GR.3 conversion set with Mk.IIa Lifeboat now relisted on my website, if of interest. Thanks! Colin

Afraid I don't do any decals but I did a Lancaster ASR.III/MR.3 conversion with the Mk.IIa lifeboat for the Airfix kit, it has been out of production for a while. I recently got a small batch cast up so it should be re-issued later this month. S&M did a post-war Lancaster sheet, and Xtradecal X72256 does have one MR.3 option on it. Its not too difficult to cobble decals together from generic code and roundel sheets although some post-war a/c had very large upper wing roundels (102 Inch?) which are not so easy to find. PM me if the conversion is of interest. There is a picture of the masters on my Freightdog Models facebook page. Thanks, Colin

What another great build, love the figures to! Colin

Amazing job, I am glad to have offered some small inspiration towards this project! Colin @ Freightdog
