stevej60 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Hi folk's My entry will be this piece of modelling archeology,Frog's oldie in a seventies boxing I'm planning to do the box option new roundel's will be needed but I hope to be able to use the codes. To be honest it's not that bad a kit certainly no better or worse than Airfix's original Mitchell which I hope we'll see a couple of in this GB. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogsbody Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 My first Mitchell was this kit, way back in the late 60's. Chris 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too Bad Skids,not new Airfix quality mind it's well over forty year old tooling but better glazing than some of the other frog kit's I have I'll pop some sprue shots in tomorrow.

JOCKNEY Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Hi Steve Delighted to see another classic Frog kit getting built. You have managed to save one for the hopefully successful Nostalgia Frog GB I trust ? Good luck with this one, I always fancied a British Mitchell over the American version, so much more civilised ! cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) Morning folk's,I think I could have finished a small kit in the time this one took to clean up all that flash and as the moving part's were all the rage back in the day Sixteen pieces make up the tail halves alone,anyway a start has been made.

Jackson Duvalier Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Curious about using Tamiya Spitfire instructions to build a Frog Mitchell, but it appears to be working quite well so far. Cheers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Blimey, I thought the Italeri kit was sparse on the detail front! Sure you'll make up for it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I would do mate, Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Looks good! I have an Old Airfix B-25 to do but given that I'm working on the Frog Beaufort at the mo it may be a retro twin too far for me. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with this one. Regards, Adrian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
