This will be my entry for the group build. It's a Mosquito, but with a twist - what I will be doing is a racer version owned by Don McVicar, an icon of Canadian Aviation. He bought a Mossie and fitted it out to compete in the 1948 Bendix race. I will be using this excellent Tamiya 1/72nd scale kit. Decals will be by Thunderbird - I purchased the decals in Telford last November, and have been waiting for the opportunity presented by this group build to get it moving.... (You can read the bones of the story here...more details are in the book mentioned at the end of the decal instructions page) I will, of course, have to "civilianise" the model, as provided in the kit, by removing all military items, and then paint it in this rather interesting cream colour.....(which, according to the decal instructions, approximates to Humbrol 103) I intend to start towards the end of the month....once I can finish the conversion of my attic into a long-awaited "man-cave". The attic was insulated during the autumn, with a pull-down step ladder, and I have been working on it since. Over Christmas, I managed to purchase and assemble some kitchen units, and these provide support to an off-cut of a kitchen worktop, that had been in the garden shed for the past 12 years (since our kitchen was done), This will be be the main modelling surface. Some shelves were added this weekend, as you can see...These should provide places for paints and other items, including all my tools....Still to be done are some more lights, a table for an extractor booth (which I will be ordering in a few days' time), and a chair to sit at while modelling..... See y'all in a couple of weeks.... Philip
