Good Grief! I hope the police lock him up and throw away the key. There's no need for that kind of thing. Get well soon my friend.

As earlier.......chores done, update inbound. I've done bits and pieces during the week allowing me to make significant progress today. More work on the cockpit: As can be seen I've also closed up the fuselage and readied the undercarriage and made a start on the props. I think it's now time to get the filler out after I've joined the wings to the fuselage.........Oh joy! More as work progresses.

Hi @Johnson, yes I've made good progress and should be posting later today chores allowing. Thanks.

What scale will the complete kit be?

So, as the title says I'm three weeks late getting started. First reason - I had to get this finished: It's now in a habitable/working state so off to the stash to find that Mossie. Turns out that the Mosquito is actually a Beaufighter. Spent the next week waiting for said kit coming from Hobbycraft. Anyway this has now arrived: So I have finally made a start. It's quite a straightforward kit which helps me along a bit. I've started with the preliminary stuff such as minor assemblies and painting and it's all going OK. Main thing is I'm now up and running and hopefully I'll get caught up. I haven't thought about a scheme - I'll go with the kit's PR scheme if I can't find anything else but I mustn't get ahead of myself as it's still early days for me. Thanks for looking in and hopefully more soon.

Hi Roger, and welcome aboard. I probably live not far from you!

Many thanks Johnathan. Not looking for anything in particular, just following my interest in Usworth itself.

@XV571 just as an aside is there anything in the ORB about the brief time 43 spent at RAF Usworth?

Nothing as yet Rob but I've a couple of 48th in the stash so who knows.

Now the 2025 calendar is clearer, I'd like to throw my hat into the ring please.

Off with another production line build, looking forward to watching this. How do you choose your projects?

What a fantastic result from what looks like a rat of a kit. Superb skills.

That's very useful info. As it's a bit of a long term project I can wait for the Wingleader book.

A big welcome from another South Coaster.

Nice, good to see some interwar getting a look-in.
