I rushed out of the Hangar in time to see RR299 go down the runway at about 20 feet. Awesome. And, I had to include this after what you said. A great sight and I still love the music. Things like that you just don`t forget Pete,..... my moment like that was when we were in a convoy off Scotland and we were attacked by Buccaneers,..... they were whizzing amongst the ships below deck level,....... it was simply awesome! Speaking of the BAe Mossie,.... I was at Barton on the day that RR299 sadly crashed,..... it was bloody awful! Watching that into took me back to being a kid,..... brilliant! When I finally got to fly over the Alps for the first time,.... in an RAF Herk I was humming the tune,.... although we were slightly higher up! Cheers bud, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanC Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Nice pair Tony. I've still not got one of these. But when I do, and much as I like the silver finish, it'll definitely be a LNSF aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Awesome job, they both look top notch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 A beautiful pair of Mossies, Tony, which has inspired me to build my two after my initial 'OMG they're going straight on to Ebay' reaction when I opened the box. I particulalrly like the 14 Squadron aircraft which its colourful markings. A curate's egg of a kit if ever there was one but clearly can be built in to a nice looking model. I do think that the spar re-enforcers are overdone on the kit so, when I get round to it, I'll sand them back a bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate,..... glad I tempted you to reconsider after all,..... and I agree,.... those spars could maybe do with a bit of sanding. 3 hours ago, russ c said: Very nice pair of Mossies there Tony Thaks Russ.

Terry1954 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Two rather special Mosquito's there Tony. I really like the pair of them. I'm not a WWII modeller generally, bar a good few Spitfires and one or two other types, but this new Mosquito from Airfix could seriously tempt me big time. Already fancying a TT35! You see @Martian I'm not just tempted by drones! So maybe I'll blame you when Mrs T wonders why I now need Mosquito's! Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will do a boxing with some extra bits to help? eeing as they are most of the way there by accident,.... it would be rude not to! Don`t blame it on me LOL,.... I already have my own mussus on my case,..... the last thing I need is somebody else`s going on at me too!! 7 minutes ago, 112 Squadron said: Tony you really created some Mossie masterpieces! 👍 Your WIP thread was very interesting to follow and I have learned a lot from it.

kapam Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Excellent Mosquito builds! I think the silver finish adds a somewhat regal and sleek look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanmi Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Both builds look great. I love how you presented both subjects and explained in detail the variants. I followed your build as well. Great job, I must hurry to open my Tamiya Mossie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
