Fuad Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Hi, everybody! First of all - let me present you some information about prototype: Unit: 105 Sqn, RAFPiloted by S/L Darling (DFC) and crewed by F/O Wright on 30th January 1943 when hit by flak and crashed near Altengrabow, Germany where both airmen were buried on 4th February 1943. Their graves are now in the 1939-1945 War Cemetery in Berlin. This was the first Mosquito to be reported missing from a raid to the German capital. Delivered to the Squadron on 6th November 1942, it had flown 62.5 hrs when lost. Kit is wonderful, but I do not advise you to use resin set from Pavla for cabin - because kit transparency details are not the same size. At the same time - set to simulate the "bomb bay" is quite possible to use. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Very nice. But I'm a bit worried that the airfield could be a bit dodgy to operate from with all those trees around the ATC tower and hangar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Fuad, you should sleep sometime, instead of building models 24/7!!!! That's what it feels like for us who need our beauty sleep! As usual, your model ticks all the right boxes. Absolutely superb. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hi Fuad Lovely Mossie given your 5 star treatment we have come to expect from you. Exceptionally finished and I especially like the history behind the aircraft. What can we look forward to next or are you going to surprise us ?
