well, i finally saw one, but this only gives you abt 27 hours to get on it!http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3138744175&category=2587
looks like maybe a Canadian boxing of the Revell 1/32 Mossie.
is currently at $12.50 (+shipping, which is not mentioned) seller is in Canada, and has a 100% feedback (90 + sales or purchases, all positive responses)

i am in no way associated w/ the seller, only responding to your earlier questions abt availability.

if you put your email in your profile, i would have mailed you direct.
hope you see this in time if you are interested.

good luck,
ed.

i think the 1:24 Airfix Mossie project actually became their 1:48
kit, rather than being separate - so should be excellent - first issued in 1981 and in the 2003 catalogue, .....i found their 1:72 mossie pretty nice too............

i know there are forum members w/ some antipathy for this source, but i often see 1/32 Mosquitos on ebay for very reasonable prices. i got mine there for about $16 (+ shipping which was around $7).
of course, i just did a search there and there are none!
but if you check periodically, some will likely turn up.
the important thing to remember while looking at (and bidding on) kits there is: the one you are looking at is probably not the last one in the world. so if there are two fools acting like it is, let THEM fight over it and pay too much. there will be others. and if the seller has a low feedback number or a lot of negative feedback, let it go, there will be others.

i looked on www.greatmodels.com and see that there is still plenty of 1/32 resin bits for the Mossie, but no kits. and the $$ for some of those resin bits is stout!

we pays our money and we make our choices. :-)
if i see a source for a 1/32 Mossie or an auction come up, i will post back to this thread.

good luck,
ed.

Hi Revell did reissue the 1/32 Mozzie a few times i last saw one in a model shop about 5 years ago. Airfix were considering doing the Mozzie in 1/24 but decided to do a 1/48th one instead as they thought it would be too big and expensive as a 1/24 ...Greg

After almost 25 years since the first and unique Mossie in 1/32 from Revell, and don't forget beautiful Paragon resins... nobody had the idea of making a new 1/32 Mossie or even to rebox the old Revel !!!
In the last times revel has reboxed lots of old dear kits in this scale. Is it possible that the kit has disappeared definitely??

And what about the old story that Airfix had in projects to do a 1/24 Mossie in that beautiful serie that was the 1/24 scale!!??
