Hard to tell from your pics.But have you fitted the bulged bomb bay doors as well?.Plus I think they had done away with HF antenna wires when this mark was in service.Though there's probably a photo of the real aircraft to show I'm wrong ?!.

Ok dave I'll spill

I have added the 4,000lb bomb bay , I also painted over the Perspex nose and drilled holes to fit the 20mm cannons to look like .........wait for it ......... Wing commander Roy Grants mosquito from 633 squadron

Here's the photos she actually flew

I thought it might be a bit of fun and too be honest I do like the look of it

Oh by the way dave thanks for pointing out the antenna looks like I should be more observant

So you've built a movie star?!.Anything goes then.As for the antenna,I hate doing the bloody things so do a bit of research to see if they were actually fitted.And I thought the nose looked a bit odd .But looking at your pics on my iPhone i couldn't work out what it was .

Yeah I looked at all the bits in this kit and thought I wonder and then sat down and watched the movie twice picking out all the the little adaptions they made and I still missed the antenna lol

But I did spot the tractor pulling the mossie and an Alvis Saracen armoured personnel carrier be used by the Germans

Cheers Steve I appreciate it

[john i am]

Alan I wouldn't know what's been added or taken away on the mossie all I see is a very well built model with great camo colours paintwork n weathering nicely done mate

[Alan 45]

Cheers John it was a lot of fun doing something different

[The Migrant]

An interesting variation, Alan. Nice build.

To me if it looks like a mosquito that is exactly what it is, very nice work there Alan it looks real good and I do like the paint work.
