AliGauld Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 This one has been sitting for a while while I sourced the necessary decals. The idea for it was put in my head by @bigbadbadge and @Dandie Dinmont as Airfix had scanned a TT version of this I thought why not do it as one. I don't know if there is anything structurally needed to make it accurate but I'm just going with the Silver, Yellow and Black paint scheme, which, if I can pull it off should look good. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For myself, I regret nothing. I do have one slight concern though Alistair. Are you sure you're up to this colour scheme after your recent whoopsie with the Spitfire invasion stripes? 😄 I'll get my coat, Craig. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I shall look forward to the Lysander - I was going through some old photos from my Dad's stint in the RAF training to be a navigator in Canada and came across a couple of stripey Lysanders; a scheme new to me. Sadly the images are quite small and in black and white... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're are a very striking looking aircraft in that scheme and I will be doing one of those with the large fin flash, I do love a large fin glash too. It's great to have the photos, there are some cracking colour images out on the net and I think a restored one too which gives a great look at the very bright machines.

Dunny Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Alistair, Nice choice! I've got a 1:48 Tamiya FB Mk.VI near the top of the stash which I'm thinking about doing as a Banff Strike Wing aircraft (maybe even Max Aitken's in invasion stripes!) Look forward to following this, Cheers, Roger 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.au Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The Mosquito is my favourite aircraft, my parents told me it was the first I could recognise by sight. I shall enjoy following this, Alistair. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Back to work tomorrow, so, I thought I'd better get started or this would just shout at me from the box when I get home. Plastic cut and ready for primer and paint. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Quack Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Great choice Alistair - I remember building the old tool Mossie as a nipper ...... this one looks much finer. Looking forward to seeing it in the TT scheme. Q 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliGauld Posted September 19, 2022 Author Share Posted September 19, 2022 Some dirtying up done, some more paint sloshed about and some glue has been applied. The fuselage halves have been glued and I am just waiting the glue curing before some more pics. Thanks for looking, Cheers, Alistair 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great job Chris Thanks Chris, Not sure about well painted but it'll look ok under the canopy. The fuselage is together and some other bits glued on. The winch bay. And it will never be seen again.
