Sea Mosquito.

OK, it's only just a what if but here it is.
Tamiya with (I think) Pavla conversion + a bit of Frog.
Yes, I know the wing roundels are facing the wrong way, I did them at about 03:00hrs. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!
And yes, the weapons load is pure fantasy but it's my fantasy and I'm sticking with that too!

Fantastic! Love it :thumbsup
Are these rockets for assisted take-off, that I'm seeing there?

Cheers

Well done, like the contra-props and paint especially- silver is very unforgiving (at least for me). So did she operate off the MELBOURNE?

A Mossie with Matras and Mavericks? Contra-props too! What's not to like??

OUTSTANDING!

What scale is it amd where did you get the excellent contra-props from please?

paulkirsopp · June 26, 2013, 01:16:24 AM

Many thanks for the kind comments.
It 'would have operated' off any carrier you want, yes they are rocket assisted units (in with the conversion set) and the props are from an old Frog Shack. The paint is Humbrol 56 silver and I wish I'd painted the fin blue as well.
Hi Kit, how you doing?

Good stuff. You keep building what takes your fancy. It's a hobby after all - aren't they supposed to be enjoyed?
