    Mine will be this......who said Mosquitos were beautiful???

    I already have an AM decal sheet for it as part of my 'The Hunters and the Hunted' theme. Although research earlier this week suggests it might not be strictly be necessary and the kit decals might work, they're more interesting than the kit decals with lots of background information on the specific plane and one of the crews that flew it.

      Fun fact.
      Many moons ago when we started with the GB's we all used to keep quite about what we were going to build. Very rare, if at all did to exact same build duplicate. A couple came close, same unit/Squadron but 100% the same just kept dodging the bullet so to speak.

                            Ok Ian my resolve finally crumbled as building one has been on my hit list, just ordered a Tamiya 1/48 MkIV so I can join the party.

                              The best bit was that all the way through all we saw was the tripe hound….and at the reveal, this appeared. Absolutely loved it and still do.
