GeordieAlexThis is a dreadful kit. Shocking fit all over the place. Highlight for me is the small round windows on the underside - there are two identical ones on the bomb bay doors - one of the clear window pieces is too big for its hole. the other is too small.
You must drill holes on the wings for the locator pins on the wing slipper tanks - these have guide holes on the inside of the wing. Once drilled, the holes are in the wrong place so the locator pins do not meet them.

Sebastian MeynerWell it's a 43 year old mold...what exactly did you expect? And after all aren't we modellers?!
15. August, 21:29
GeordieAlexI'm new to the site - is it not the done thing to provide information about our experiences to help others in making buying choices? Apologies if I have misunderstood the purpose of these messages.
15. August, 22:04
MunkyslutYes Alex mate you are right........ I think a bit of friendly sarcasm from Sebastian
15. August, 22:31
Sebastian MeynerWell yes and no (...to the sarcasm part). The Airfix Mossie was basically the only one around in 1:48, until Tamiya issued their kit(s). Given it's age it's still a very decent kit that can build into something special....IF you'r willing to invest a little bit more than just glue and 10 minutes. I just find critisism on kits that old a little out of place. It is as if we're judging them by todays standards.

GeordieAlex"IF you'r willing to invest a little bit more than just glue and 10 minutes."
Thanks. I won't be posting again.
16. August, 07:19
scalemates@Sebastian: it is a perfect legit and welcome comment from Alex.
you are basically saying to not make comments on any kit from 1970? 1980? 1990? 2000? 2018?
Let us stay positive
16. August, 09:59
Sebastian MeynerNo, that's not what I ment at all and if anyone feels offended by my comment I do appologize since it wasn't my intention at all
I just have the feeling that these day we all tend do judge everything by todays (quality...) standards, which I honestly don't agree with. So please GeordieAlex, don't be offended....my wording might have been harsher than intended...
16. August, 11:08
TreehuggerWhat Sebastian doesn't seem to ackknowledge, which I think is worth noting, is that kit manufacturers dress up old kits as seemingly brand new. Nothing I can do about that practice, but it makes me very suspicous, so I ALWAYS check the kit history. I am not interested in getting some 1:350 battleship kit with molds from 1960's or somesuch, even if dressed up in a fancy package.

wilkyFinally won this kit on eBay. Have been outbid on a few since I discovered that this boxing even existed.sets a personal record for me as my most expensive kit and the biggest.
Best bit is that because it is being shipped via the GSP the cost is much less than the kits I was outbid on which is another first as GSP shipping is usually more expensive.
Now if there was some way I could get some more money and buy an Alley Cat Boomerang this would be the best Christmas ever. Actually make that second best, I had a really good Christmas in 1990 but that's a story for another forum

wilkyThanks Rui.
Looks like I'll have to get a big ed set now too so that there's some details to see
19. May 2019, 10:38
Rui SDo they really need PE ?
19. May 2019, 11:04
wilkyI'm not using the figures so it would be good to have the detail because it should be visible
19. May 2019, 11:11
wilkySo I have the kit and when I checked it out the previous owner had removed the decals for all but one British version.
I contacted the guy and he said he would still have them.
After three weeks I contacted him again and he said that he had just moved house and didn't know where they were and ended up giving me a partial refund.
So I purchased a set of Novascale decals and they never arrived.
The Novascale guy is a total dick and has decided I'm a theif and banned me from any further purchases.
He actually has an international reputation for being a dick.
Does anyone have any Australian decals sitting around doing nothing?
19. June 2019, 22:19
gorbygouldThat's a pain in the rear end.
Any chance you could do the main markings with home-made masks and the smaller numbers with generic decals? I do most of my markings with home-made masks these days, partly because I don't get on with decals, but also because the end result is usually better.
20. June 2019, 06:20
wilkyPainting is my weak point.
It's definitely taken the wind out of my sails
20. June 2019, 06:57
gorbygouldPainting is may weak point as well, but if you have a printer and a reasonably steady hand to help make the masks, the painting part is the easy bit.
20. June 2019, 10:09

Paul MooreNice job on the Mozzie. The clay masks turned out well. Did you use AM gun barrels and canopy masks? Thanks for posting these pictures. It helps with my planned build.
19. January 2019, 04:44
Björn SvedbergThanks Paul, and you are welcome!
I used Eduard's masks for the canopy, I must have forgot to add them to the project. And the "clay masks" are actually a product called "patafix". I think it is also called "blue tack" in other parts of the world. I used it to stick posters to the walls when I was a kid
. The gun barrels are the ones provided in the kit, but the belly guns are not complete, so if you want to have the front part of the bomb bay open to show them off, you should go for an after market kit.

Christopher MullinsHere are some new better pictures of the Mosquito. I am not happy with this model though. The decals did not set down, even with decal set and decal sol, and the canopy doesn't fit at all as well as some of the flaps do not fit right either, I think the colors I used look pretty good though, but before I took the pictures I noticed a lot of places where the paint was messed up so it got some touch up before I took new pictures. I do see though on these pictures, some messed up paint on the wheels though.
