Wonder where the real airframe is today? And the 310. Did they get sold or scrapped? Be really cool to see the original bird. And a quick Google shows it was sold off and in August 1962 was involved in a fatal crash. Sad. The 310 is still out there ‘they’ say ….

There’s a warthog in the picture?🙄🤣

Thanks Rob , coming from you that is very high praise ! And a little brain distortion once in a while is a good thing. 🤭🍺🥃 I’m really happy you like the conversion. It was fun and brought back memories of the early ‘70’s when these birds were the front line of air tankers here in British Columbia. They were so cool.

Thank you so much Jeff

Excellent update Peter. Looks to be a bit of a challenge but will be more than worth it in the end for sure. A unique bird for your display. Looking forward to your next update. Jeff

Thanks Phil. You are too kind. It was a lot of fun and definitely a little different and I miss them flying over my house .

Nice build! It looks absolutely spot on. ! I must build another one or three. They are excellent kits. 105 Sqdn is Iconic. Nice job. Take a bow !

Top drawer Peter. I love the finish. The checkers on the cowl came out beautiful. Super well done !

Thanks Phil , you guys are quite persuasive and I will excitedly watch your build. I felt the same way when I also was on TOS and I guess that just carried over to here subconsciously

Jimmy Stewart …………. The best !!!! I miss the man !

I was thinking Red Fox and am wondering about Cammo masks and not vinyl. And by the way….I’m not sure I an any where near qualified to do a WIP with this crowd. My talents at best would be classes as a ‘glue bomb’. My talents are mediocre at best and I build like a snail.

Excellent. !

Thanks Carl, not sure about all the decent on the inaccuracy, like you the nay sayers will not deter me as it is my model , that aside I do know the MkVI Mosquito had a variety of engines the Merlin 21,22,23, or 25 and all had little things that were a bit different. So I think we can take some of what the ‘experts’ say with a grain or two. At least that is how I’m looking at it. So we should be good 👍

Christmas in February. From my good friend Martin

I got caught in a weak moment. I’m probably in WAY over my head with this ,but I thought life is short and this won’t be available forever so I thought what the Hell … besides it may increase my estate for Cathy 🤭. Now trying to gather details on these real engines. Have you priced out the Haynes Merlin Owners Manual?! Holy I have seen it for over $300! Thats crazy. I guess it’s Google here I come

I just watched the old 1950’s movie Appointment in London with Dirk Bogard. It was a really good movie for it’s time. About a time-ex-ed Lancaster pilot. I quite enjoyed it. A good basic war movie with no fake cgi flying , just old school cinematography

Hurry home , Rog. This is just too cool. I will be sitting in the front row for this one. I love your review so far. Jeff

Can’y argue that. Thanks again!

Well the generosity thing touched me today….. The other day I made a purchase of the Eduard resin Merlins for my Mosquito. I casually mentioned that to our Martin and the conversation went on a bit and at the end of that conversation there is a package heading my way for my Mosquito in the form of two packs of stencils and two Reedoak figures !!! I still marvel at the huge generosity within this community. MANY Thanks Martin.

I agree the camo looks cool, and maybe way too many 109’s and 190’s?🤭
