                        A lovely build of one of my favourite aircraft, Greg - I like that a lot.  And the grey "coach line" on the fuselage camo is a nice touch, too.

                        Thanks, Gentlemen, I appreciate the kind words!

                        Beautiful work. That was one of my favorite kits as a kid. I believe it was the first multi-engine I successfully built. It hung proudly from the ceiling in my room.

                        It occurred to me at one point that this may have been one of the only 'big' $1.99 (back then) classic a/c kits that Monogram did, that I didn't build as a kid. In fact...despite having grown up watching films like "633 Squadron" and "Mosquito Squadron"...I'd actually never built a Mossie before, in any scale. So, despite it's well-recorded shortcomings as a 'build any version' kit, the Mono (by then Revell, I think) had to be the one...and I had a grand time doing it. Big Smile

                        Big Bad 'Wolf' - Monogram 1/48 Mosquito
                        Posted by gregbale on Thursday, September 16, 2021 2:58 PM

                        This is Monogram's venerable 1/48 Mossie done up as FB Mk. VI "Wolf" of 605 (County of Warwick) Squadron, 100 (Bomber Support) Group, flying from Bradwell Bay, Essex in late 1943.

                        spacer.png

                        According to Aeromaster's 48-552 "Mosquito Raiders V" sheet, the squadron flew in support of the Main Force Lancasters to counter the threat of German nightfighters. Wikipedia adds mention of intruder missions and 'Doodlebug'-tipping over the Channel and Southern England.
