    Build a De Havilland Mosquito

    I’m proposing a Mosquito GB, a classic British unsung hero of the Second World War.
    Any scale, any manufacturer any markings.
    From the 1st of July until the 31st of December. So 6 months build.
    Just a stand alone build, just the aircraft.
    So Any takers ?

        Ian.....

        You're a very bad man!! Truly cruel!?!! :smiling5:

        I have two 1/72 Mossies in the stash.....a Tamiya night fighter variant and the new Airfix Mk XVI bomber variant.... So I have no excuse not to take part.... So count me in!

        I'll let you know which way I go nearer the time....

                        I have recently just purchased the new Airfix 1:72 tooling so would be interested in joining.

                        I'm a beginner though and am still working through my first models with basic techniques.

                        Is this okay or are teh GBs for a experts only?

                          They are for everyone Mike. for the newest newbie to the most hard rivet counter.
                          Its a good way to get help too. When a group of people work on the same subject there is always relevant help at hand.
