Thanks Erich. I'm researching. Kind of hard to find a good photo of that one but I'll get there eventually. I didn't realize there were so many versions to the bird.

Erich,
Is this a Mk30 Mossie?

I didn't draw / paint this by the way. It's just a reference a friend of mine sent.

 

[Erich]

that looks close enough to me. I am not sure of the visible difference between a XXX and an XIX. Our English friends can butt in anytime with their thoughts. Nice rendering by the way sent to you. I'll look through my saved files and post if anything exists RAF Mossie wise

Lyle this may have come from one of our forum members here on the boards

Erich,
As you say...I'd be more than welcome for someone to post a good image if either version. I did find some very small photos of Mk30's both with and without a glass nose. That's if the caption was correct with the photos (I've seen some real goof-ups along those lines before). I'll keep asking around and checking.

 

[Erich]

well maybe you can make a copy of what I posted and have it enlarged through your system > yes there are other pics of a Mossie XXX flying freely through hyperspace

I'm not a Mosquito subject matter expert by any stretch, but that nose looks post war.

 

[the lancaster kicks ass]

it's a wartime varient, that's the radome obviously, the 4x 20mm being under the nose.........

Lyle somehow I missed this thread until now, just want to say I was blown away by your pics, absolutely superb mate!!

 

[Lyle]

Lads, I ran across this one I drew quite awhile ago. It's a tail from the Belgian Tiger31 Squadron (another colored pencil and marker experiment I tried). Wildcat, thanks for stopping by. Thanks for the tech support Matt and Lanc.

 

[evangilder]

Nice! Looks like one from one of the Tiger Meets in Europe. The tails are always painted up like that for the event.

 

[Lyle]

Ya' know. I actually took the photo of this several years ago. I was at RAF Fairford for the RIAT. We'd brought one of our B-1's over for the show. Good times for sure.

 

[HealzDevo]

Interesting photo that one. I like the tiger tail.

 

[Lyle]

Thanks. It was a sort of "Guinea Pig" that worked out somewhat. I enjoyed drawing that tiger. I have to admit that the real thing looked a lot nicer though!

 

[HealzDevo]

You mean that is actually drawn! I took it for a photograph. What a good drawing.

 

[Lyle]

Yes, the image displayed is a drawing. I did it in colored pencil and marker. Thanks for thinking it was a photo though! Cool!

 

[HealzDevo]

Great work and look forward to seeing more at some stage.

 

[Lyle]

I've been tasked with a few projects that have a short time table so it'll be awhile before I crank out anything related to the topics here. I'll post something when it applies however.

 

[HealzDevo]

Okay, no worries. Thanks for posting here what you can.
