That is one fine Mossie Andrew! It may have taken a bit longer to finish, but I can only say, it was well worth it. Super finish, decals, weathering and the colors too. Don't worry about the waffle buddy. It's always good to have some background about what we are building. Personally, I like my waffle(s) with maple syrup!!! This is one build you should be really proud of and I'm sure the gang will all agree on that...Now take a bow, Sir!!!

Thanks guys for the comments, it is very much appreciated and means a lot coming from such great modellers!


Alan, Geoff - glad you liked the background info. I personally think it adds to the topic, especially in less well known cases like this.

Alan - Waffles and maple syrup no complaints from me!!! Add some bacon and well, I'm in heaven!!!!

Geoff - I did once wonder if it was possible to recreate the Eiffel Tower scene at home in full at 1/72....the answer is yes...just. I live in a Victorian House and if you stand at the bottom of the stairs you have a clear line of sight to the 1st floor ceiling. That is an 18 ft drop....so there is about 3ft to spare!! Simples!! :smiling5:


Thanks again guys!

Splendid work Andrew. It's nice to have something else rather than just a completed build (I know often we can't avoid that) The history adds so much more.

Thanks Colin, very much appreciated indeed and I'm glad you like it.

Glad you like the history bit....although I must admit I wasn't intending to go so in depth but once I found out about the plane I found myself going down one of those rabbit holes.

I think I will put a bit more effort into the history side on this thread, given the subject matter.

Thanks again.

A very interesting read :thumb2:

That's something I'm trying to do now with a recently completed build. Unfortunately, the aircraft had a very unremarkable history. Basically, nothing to tell.

Don't know I missed all this, very enjoyable post, and excellent builds as usual.

Afternoon gents!

Thanks for stopping by and the support. Also, no need to apologise for "missing" it first time around. I do it myself so often and find it hard to keep up.


Colin - to be honest I got very lucky. I basically bought the wrong mark of Mossie by not doing my research properly and in trying to rescue it stumbled across LP, for which there is a lot of material available. The icing on the cake though was the squadron's post war history. I do not remember stumbling across during my initial research a couple of years ago and so finding it just after I started the build was a real bonus.


Thanks again.

Very well put together thread info.

The models are well put together too!

In fact, a very nice presentation all round

Nice one Andrew. :thumb2:

Thank you very much indeed. I'm glad you like it and coming from someone of your calibre is very much appreciated.

Given the nature of this thread/collection and the history behind it, I think I'm going to try do the same/similar for future builds wherever possible.

Thanks again.

Congratulations Andrew .

Thank you so very much John!

The history does add a certain something and I'm glad you like it!! I suspect there won't be many builds in the future where there is so much info available info on what is such a relatively little known subject, compared to the likes of more famous planes e.g. those involved in the Dams raid.

Thanks again.
