Zephyr91 Posted March 17 Posted March 17 I think I may have volunteered for the impossible, but we'll attempt to keep track here of the different Mosquito Marks being attempted in this GB. It would be a great help if builders can include mark, scale, kit manufacturer in either their thread title or tags. Anyway, heer goes. As of 22:00 17th March 2025 we have Updated 18th March to include specific a/c serial or identifier if declared Updated 23rd March (22 statements of intent of which 17 threads started) Updated 27th March (30 ssoi, 25 threads) looking good! Updated 29th March (32 ssoi, 26 threads) ....and the flag has dropped to start the fun! Updated 30th March (35 ssoi, 29 threads. ) Updated 1st April [not foolish ] (38 ssoi, 32 threads) Updated 5th April (40 ssoi, 33 wips ) Updated 12th April (41 ssoi, 35 wips) Updated 17th April (44 ssoi, 38 wips) Updated 20th April (43 ssoi, 39 wips) this due to a couple of changes of intent 😁 Updated 26th April (46 ssoi, 42 wips of which 4 are complete) Updated 3rd May (44 wips of which 5 are complete)* [Apologies. Haven't quite figured out how to link to the exact finished model in the Gallery as it's all one thread, so you will probably have to scroll until you find the particular model. ] F II?

Antoine Posted March 18 Posted March 18 For the thread title, will do, as I does it everytime Maybe you could add in this listing only the aircraft id, maybe the serial and the code, but at least the unit? I mean, I've decided myself over what I'll build, that is a BOAC Mossie PR, G-AGFV. But I've seen that @JWM has already declared another BOAC bird, this time an FB.VI. I'll PM him to know which camo he choose, so that I'll set myself on a different one. 1 1
Zephyr91 Posted March 18 Author Posted March 18 Thanks Antoine @Antoine, I'll see what I can do. I will always encouage "self-help" and full marks to you for communicating with @JWM to coordinate your approaches. I was trying to keep the list as simple as possible. Some people have decided the mark but not neccessarily the exact serial for their builds. However, I'll try and incorporate an extra item if the info is available. cheers Rob 1
JWM Posted March 18 Posted March 18 So mine will be G-AGGG. Some BOAC Mosquito were converted from B IV, some from FBVi. Mine is from FBVI. Scheme is a TSS: EDSG/DSG over sky bottom. Regards JWM 1

By the way, I've tried to reach you by MP yesterday, but I had a return telling me that you were unable to receive them. Maybe it's a simple case of your inbox being full? 11 hours ago, Zephyr91 said: Thanks Antoine @Antoine, I'll see what I can do.

Do whatever you want if you feel its right. 1

Zephyr91 Posted March 25 Author Posted March 25 Thanks everyone so far. I'll try and update this daily but I might miss occasionally, for which I ask 🐻 🐻 🐻🐻 🐜🐜 [forbearance.?] Sorry, I'll go now 🚪 cheers Rob 5
Ventora3300 Posted March 25 Posted March 25 @Zephyr91 please put me down for an Airfix B.XIV - I've opened up a build thread. Many thanks and good luck to all! 2 1
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted March 26 Posted March 26 Ideally a Mossie IIF of 333 Squadron late 1942 or early 1943. 3 1
S-boat 55 Posted March 27 Posted March 27 Mine will be B.XVI No, 571 Squadron, No 8 (pathfinder) Group, Royal Air Force Oakington, Cambridgeshire, England, September 1944, Airfix 1/72 kit, straight out the box, 3 1
Roland Pulfrew Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Mosquito B Mk IV. Tamiya 1/48. Not saying which squadron yet, but a small clue: HB. 1 1
Collin Posted March 29 Posted March 29 HK 1/32 BXI kit converted to a PR XVI Sitting in my basement with two 1/32 kits and a hoard of 1/48 Tamiya kits. Pulled out the HK kit and decided I was going to do an in-flight PRU blue OOB build of the 1409 squadron markings provided. Looking over the clear parts I see they have the PR upper blown glass observers bubble. I thought…that’s for a PR XVI. Then I see they still have the antenna mast on the sprue. And the long wire antenna…and at least two holes covered up on the bomb bay doors. I figure I can drill some holes, scratch some cameras and I’m pretty darn close to a PR XVI. Anyone out there make a 1/32 Gee box? Cheers Collin. 3

Sound like it should be an interesting build. Can’t help with the Gee box though, sorry. Good luck Collin. 1

On second thought…still sitting here in my basement, maybe I’ll just do M5-Q with a big belly and a cookie. looks like she had two whip antennas per the instructions. One’s a Gee antenna out of the rear canopy…any idea what the second whip is for out of the same hole as the fixed antenna mast? Cheers Collin 1
