Would I build another Mossie? Absolutely! Two more actually. I want to build one involved in Operation Jericho and another as Pathfinder version.

DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI
1/48 scale Tamiya Mossie. A great kit and I had fun building it. I chose to build it as Coastal Command markings, FB Mk.VI, 143 Squadron; RS625, NE-E.

I also decided to post side by side comparisons to other 1/48 iconic RAF fighters.

Nicely finished Tom! Coastal Command Mossies aren’t modeled too frequently.

Re: DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI
Well done, Tom. Looks great!

Love the family photos. It shows how big the Hellcat was if nothing else - what a beast!
