Build a De Havilland Mosquito

[adt70hk]

Under the lend/lease agreement with Russia under WWII, they took delivery of a Mossy. serial nr. DK296, which they promptly crashed into the field they was supposed to be landing on.
Mossy. Check.
Red stars Check
Mud Check.

Go on, you know deep down inside that you want to...

Didn't know that Ian.... You do make a compelling argument though!

[Ian M]

Steady as she goes skipper. Loads of time yet. I recon you got this in the bag Ian.

Ok then Ian, perfect reason for joining in then esp as it crashed on landing , so I can have some mud then ! off to find one.:nerd:

[JR]

Yes, come on John - they were wooden you know!
Pete

Ok following further evidence from Ian why not, now we need Ron a fellow wood butcher to join in.

Go on then - not a 'wingy' for many moons but the Mossie is so beautiful - just don't expect too much! I'll almost certainly be the 'One in Ten'! (oop

I think I got a Tamiya 1/48 Mossie in the stash somewhere. If I can find it, count me in Ian.

Many thanks Dave, would be nice to have you aboard.

Sorry ian , normally I’d be on this like a seagull on a tray of chips but i just cant find the time for anything much recently. My two current GB builds ( helicopter and soviet tank ) have ground to a halt , or not even got off the starting blocks so I dont want to commit to another one only to not finish it . Plus ive not got anything in the stash so unless I turn one up at the car boot im afraid im out . I’ll be watching though so good luck , cheers tony
