Hello From Hangtown
Posted by Anonymous on Wednesday, September 10, 2003 12:44 AM
Hi all,

I am new to this forum, yet not new to the hobby of model building.

I have been building models since about age 5 when my dad got me an old AMT model of a Chevrolet. I can't remeber what specific model it was. It had many options and was a real challenge for me then. That was 1967.

Today, I have more old instruction sheets from models than I care to count and a supply of un-built models that I could only dream of when I was in High School.

It has been lots of fun building and showing models. The IPMS shows have been a real kick! What a pleasure to see the work that others have done. It has been fun to win the contests too!

I was wondering, has anyone built a DH Mosquito (1/48) in the PR Mk 21 format? Did I get the mark correct? This was the recon version that I found a really nice picture of in Jeffery Ethel's WWI Color Photograph book. The Mossy is a US version of the aircraft. Specifically, I am looking for ways to convert the Tamiya kit which will require changes to the canopy and to the engine nacelles. The exhaust stacks are also different.

Thanks for any thoughts.
