Adam beat me to it, no matter there are many screens to be shown of this thing

[Splitpin]

Charl, I love that last one

[Adamski]

Aaaah ... bliss!

It just needs the sound to go with them! Great subject matter.

EGY at Ardmore, back in 2012, was the only airworthy one at the time

Watch on youtube.com

The sim soundtrack is pretty good, too

Aargh that #2 kicked the rudder, just as the shot was taken.
Makes my teeth itch

In my long past youth, I assembled either an Airfix or Revel plastic kit of the Mosquito. It was one of my favourites, It hung by a string from the ceiling along with a few others. They were all posed in dramatic attack positions.

Yip: 1/72 Airfix kit.
In so many ways, flightsimming is a complementary and evolutionary path from that model on a string, eh?

Stunning first shot Charl....great angle.

As an "Ulralight" enthusiast, that is what I would call, "A big lump of an aeroplane".... ....!
A wonderful "outline".... ...!
Excellent examples!

Thanks gents, I am loving this Mmmossie

[K5054NZ]

It looks absolutely gorgeous, and your screenshots are terrific Charl!

[Charl]

It does, and thank you.

It's a great model, and apart from beating up innocent airfields, the bare plywood repaint is quite interesting to walk over.

[K5054NZ]

She looks gorgeous naked!


I know what I said.

I think this may well be my next purchase, even if my heart lies with the FB variants. It's just such a beautiful model. I introduced my partner to 633 Squadron last night so I have a touch of Mossie fever.

That my grandparents definitely didn't like them... is obvious, I think. It was often enough the mosquitoes that drove them into the air-raid shelter from 1944 onwards.

I appreciate them as a technical icon, a high-performance aircraft made of wood, for which the German Luftwaffe had no solution until the Me 262, and then it was irrelevant that the Me 262 existed... 1945.
