Hi all,
Here is my completed Mossie. Thanks again to Ian for getting this GB together. I just couldn't build the kit without having a base for it to sit on, so I picked up a runway section at the WME show. I also added a couple of figures to give it scale and a bit of a story too.......First the story,
As you may know, my buddy, Dude 2, aka John Race, is a retired wood butcher and enjoys fixing things still. I am a retired beer drinker and would have loved to be a pilot when I was young. Well, it just so happens that John and I served in a Mossie Squadron of the RAF in 1944. Mossie's were made of wood and John was perfect for repairing them. I passed my pilots test and flew them over Europe on dangerous missions 4 times a week. War was hell and the stress was tremendous. This dio stars Master Chief John Race and Cdr. Allen "Gus-go-fast" Dewire.....Without further ado, I give you..............
"Pre-Flight Ops"...
Me, getting my stress level down...In these tough times, cold ones were always needed...
And John checking for any nails sticking out so he can hammer them back in. He also has a few extra nails in his mouth, just in case...
A few more for your perusal,
As our weather has been crap, I wasn't able to take any decent pics. When the sun finally shines, I will post a few more in this post. I hope you enjoyed my little foray into the past. Thanks also to my buddy Dude 2 for playing along. Lastly......Thank you for looking in and supporting me in this build!!! Now, on to my next victim at the table.................
Prost auf Euch
Allen
