Enjoy your holiday Ian.

My whole life is a holiday. Now the good lady has holiday too. So I will have to get off my but and do something LOL.

Ooops! Sorry Ian, but I won't be joining this GB after all. I did have one of the Tamiya 1/48 kits but I must have sold it last year when I cleared out a bit of room on my stash shelves!

As part of my education during this GB, I'm planning on going to this museum next week.

It has Mossies there apparently and is only a 20 minute drive from my house so I'd be crazy not to visit

No worries Dave.

I don't think it's actually that far from me either..... About an hour I think....

Should give it's go as you say.

A bit further for me, but probably worth it.

Yes, but we’ve got more Mk VIs :tongue-out3: To be honest, never even knew that museum existed…..

Some years ago I was given a load of PE by a member here who was giving up the hobby. Looking through it just now I came across some part-used Eduard etch for a 1:48 Mosquito - this set: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393483473...0&toolid=11000
Quite a lot of it is still there, including the seatbelts

If it's any use to anyone, first to post here and PM me their address can have it.

I'll look forward to your build Tony. I had to Google Tse-tse mosquito to find out what it was.
