Beautiful model and the fold mechanism gives a real 'wow' factor.  I would suggest you don't over complicate the fold 'interface' as inserting too much metal into the wooden structure is just wasted weight.  This link has a model of the TR33 with wings folded.

The tail and the prop blades are fairly high and the wings can't be folded to close to the fuselage so the Sea Mosquito went for something simple - surprising considering the Byzantine folding mechanisms of so many FAA types!

some little progress....
it will be a two seater but the navigator will seat in the fuselage behind the pilot....
the torpedo /bomb bay was lenghtened to carry a  Mk.14 or...possible..two Mk.27  :rolleyes:
the radar nose is from the beau and the cockpit section was closed with a part from the Do335 from monogram.
the bomb bay doors are from the avenger which was destroyed in an accident. :(
so its all for today  :cheers:

regards!

the bomb bay is simple because it will be not visible when the torpedo is installed...

Superb building! The mossie look so good with folded wings :)
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

Virtually immaculate work again, Peter.

I think it's something unmarried people do.

Or something.

Not nearly as much fun as plastic scale modelling, to be sure!

Nothing wrong with unmanned aircraft!

Mind you another option springing from this pic:



Would be for a RAF 'Mistel' - Mosquito on bottom (with cockpit fared over as in pic, though probably without folding wings) and say a late model spit on top.
