At the risk of expanding the topic area a tad

1/48th Scale Tamiya FW190-D9, one of the finest single seat fighters of WWII

1/48Th scale DH Mosquito, the finest twin engined piston aircraft of WWII

1/48th scale EE (BAC) Lightning F6, the ultimate hot rod

Airfix 1/48th Supermarine Seafire FR47, the pinicle of the Spitfire development

Nice models! How was the Tamiya 1:48 Mosquito? Was contemplating making the Tamiya 1:48 NF mk2.

Great program on TV the other night about the Mosquito.

My cousin had a working remote control version he made from scratch and I think I made an Airfix version as a little kid.

Biggles's favorite aircraft if I remember correctly.

Superb, no problems at all, can't think of a better designed & manufactured kit

Great models, love the Mossie, as you say the finest twin engine piston aircraft of WW11.

wow some really nice detailing there, I remember punching the wing of a lightning-I think they must have made them from solid billet ally.

very nice models.....I loved making these up when I was a kid. Not sure if kids still do this sort of stuff now computers and phones rule the world?? Was one of my Winter hobbies as a youngster when the weather was bad. Loved going to the model shop to get all the paints and stuff with my pocket money. Used to hang them from my bedroom ceiling with fishing wire....

Yes, thats just as I did as well!

You do not see model shops now, even before the internet they were on the decline
