Build a De Havilland Mosquito

[Valeron]

Hi Mike the GB's are open to all, so no problem in you jumping aboard the GB.

Thanks. Count me in then.

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?

Mike

Welcome aboard Mike. I'm still at the beginner-ish end of the hobby myself and they're a great thing to do, as they help you to learn, as Ian said.

My problem is finishing the kits within the timeframe. I've joined three GBs on here and so far only finished the model in one case!

Out of interest, is your Mossie the Mk XVI? If so, someone did a build of it on here not that long ago.

It is the Mk XVI. I bought it from the RAF Museum at Hendon earlier this week. I'll check out the other build. Thanks.

I once wanted my job title to include the word 'expert', until my boss pointed out that an ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. :smiling5:
I became a specialist instead.

Ye Gods Pete - that one's seriously ancient! There's a story in my family that it's been passed down from generation to generation since before the Romans invaded!
