Anthony in NZ

Yup, Cees is right, if they were going rusty then they were time ex. I reckon a very light dusting of light grey on ends of the rear 4 (simulate the heavy use and lead in the paint) and a wash over the top and they will look the bizzo! Old story though....study pics. And C'mon any modelling updates? I am having withdrawls….

They look awesome, great review! Hopefully mine will be here any day now.... Appreciate the heads up on these.

MB339C to do an RNZAF bird

Will do Ron, might get you to send it to my mate on Long Is as he is coming out to NZ in March and will have my 1/32 Wild Hare Brit Phantom conversion with him already. I think he is coming over to fly/display/crew the PBY for Warbirds Over Wanaka and told me to get my butt down there so we can drink Beer and tell stories LOL. Will email you direct though about that and payment etc. I have just updated my build thread on my 24th Mosquito over on LSP, you might be interested in a wing issue I had to deal with Cheers Anthony

Don't worry mate....I am already looking for ski drawings for that kit. Has it arrived yet? Sorry for hijacking your thread

Well all this discussion about 24th De Havilland has got my big Mosquito back on the bench!! Fixing up one more wing issue that I just couldn't leave... Havent heard from Bob yet, but its a busy time of year

Just emailed Bob to order a set....how could I not after seeing those!

I just did Ron....they look amazing! Better order some too....

Oh WOW...they are stunning! Oh dear, more money LOL. But totally worth it! Thanks for the heads up Ron

Just heading to bed buddy! I will email you in the morning...I will find the money somehow LOL. Crikey, I'm waiting for the 'talking to' from my wife .....lots of UK money transfers and Aircraft part buying happening at the moment. When it rains, it pours....but who's worrying aye? Not me, ….just yet

Ron, you are a legend mate!! I'll drop you an email after dinner Super awesome....I will have to start digging up some research material!

Awww you are too kind buddy. I will keep looking for us both even if Ron pulls this off!

Ron, you are a good man! Anytime on the Mossie buddy.....

Thanks buddy....looks like it has gone. Trouble with living on this side of the planet....I was asleep when all the action happened! Appreciate you keeping an eye out for me!

Thanks Ron, I couldn't find it, I am guessing someone beat me to it! Quite fancy doing an RNZAF Antarctic Flight one on ski's. Anyway, timing probably wasn't very good for me money-wise as I have just forked out a pile of dough on parts for my Auster rebuild. I shall enjoy watching your beautiful work and hopefully one will turn up when I can afford it LOL Cheers Anthony

Loving this Ron! Awesome mods you are making...might try and locate one of these kits sometime. You are inspiring me!

That's looking awesome buddy! Let me know anytime if you need more pics! Keep up the great work! Cheers Anthony

Were all thinking of you buddy....get well soon and we look forward to hearing from you when you are able to report back. But look after yourself first before worrying about us! Cheers Anthony

Atta boy! I understand what you are saying. But a great model never happened easily. And this is going to be a GREAT model when finished.

Cees, the small refined details have made a big improvement to my eyes. Will look brilliant all painted up....keep up the great work

Ooooh, I remember that, I was enjoying that WIP! Any updates John?

LOL.....there's probably med's for it!

This will be great, might be just what I need to crack on with my Tamiya Trainer conversion or my 24th Airfix one as well....

Great update Ron! Loving it!

LOL, pleasure mate! Its a community of sharing information, that's what makes it so great. It's always a pleasure to help fellow modelers, especially on the Mosquito for me, as I have had a lot to do with them over the years. As well as working extensively with Tamiya (and several others of course) to do the 32nd kit, I have a real love for them. Cheers Anthony
