Had the same trouble earlier JJC, just tried it again and got on the site but the majority of the pics were red boxes.
Can't get into Hobby Boss either.

Mark 1 and Mark 2 - the main difference is the tailboom fuel tanks.

No talk of the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito on here.  Sounds like its going to be one hell of a kit, but then again at £130 it better be!

It's the first of the new Eco-Kits: it comes with a disposable camera and a recycling voucher...... :wacko:

It's not actually going to be that much bigger than Tamiya's recent 1:48 Lancaster (~65cm wingspan, compared to 69cm for the Mossie). OK, that's still pretty big, but it's not like it's vastly bigger than anything has previously been.
