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.

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

@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.

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

Very nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.

Thanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.
