Tim Moff Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Well I thought I would kill 2 birds with one stone and enter my Tamiya Mossie, as I did with the Academy Mustang! As part of my long term 617 Sqn project, I will build my Tamiya MK VI Mossie, using the Hannants Decals to model Leonard Cheshire's aircraft, NT202, used for target marking etc. The kit has a good reputation, I had a good bash at invasion stripes modelling Cheshire's Mustang. Lots on the go at the moment, luckily I can use the table tennis table in my garage to keep a track of it all (til the weather warms up!). So this may be a bit later starting, but here is my marker! Hannants decals: references very limited - rare photo - possibly the airframe: 'Two Mosquito FB.VIs were issued to 617 Squadron - NT202 and NT205. This next, rare, snapshot MAY be the other one ; it shows three NCO's of 627 Squadron ( who shared Woodhall Spa with 617 ) in front of 'Leonard Cheshire's Mosquito' ' IWM pic - noted as 617 Sqn? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Moff Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 Have got started - couple of crew from my Dambusters builds and initial build up/paint. Detail paint on soon and hopefully construction will not take too long. The invasion stripes add a bit more complication to the painting. I am building a old Airfix Mk VI as well so some comparisons during the thread. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
