Sea Mosquito TR mk 33
Starting the project with cutting the wings
WIP - looks like a quite sad mossie at the moment
Sea mosquito parts in place - radar dome, tail hook and wing folding mechanism
Next step, finalize work with torpedo
Resin props, 4-blade version for the Sea mossie
Cabin coming together
Canopy on, now masking & final prep for paint work
EDSG in place, dark slate is next
Paint progress, detailing next
WIP - have to redo some details as putty have sunk in some areas. Also working on the main landing gears as this version have different shock absorbers in comparion with the ”normal” mossie.
The Sea Mossie is back on the bench!
Landing gear assembly in progress

RandoHad no idea that they made a carrier borne Mosquito til I saw this project, lots of interesting and unique features to include here

J35J@Rando - Thanks for your intrest, indeed it is a quite unique bird.
Derived from the Mosquito the Sea Mosquito was intended to be used aboard the Fleet Air Arm's aircraft carriers. During its time in service it would only be used by land based squadrons. Two variants of the de Havilland Sea Mosquito were built and only 67 was produced.

Andy Ballwell, this version I haven't heard of, so I'll crane my neck over yours...

Łukasz GlińskiSeems quite a logical idea - staying afloat in case of ditching into the sea 😄
