Just received this pic from Max, showing John Fennings ( son of the Mosquito pilot, Eric Fennings ) with the model now complete with its display case.

While not a facial expression expert, I certainly see, not only joy, but pride in his expression. It's hard to 'squeeze' emotions out of us ol-timers, but you certainly have. Thanks for doing this.

Great stuff Terry. Nice to see a model end up in appreciative hands. Mine will be landfill some day.

Thanks chaps.
I'd like to think that my daughters will either retain some of my models, or donate them to museums that may have a use for them, once I'm planted with the daisies.

DH Mosquito B.XVI, 608 Sqn, RAF ( Aux AF ), Downham Market, April 1945.

Username Airframes
Name Terry.
Category Judge - non competing.
Model Mosquito B.XVI

Accessories "Brengun" resin engine nacelles and exhausts, bulged bomb bay and canopy side windows from Airfix kit, scratch-built interior fittings and other items , decals from the kit, Xtradecal and Tally Ho decals. Custom-made display base.


Finally finished, and ready for delivery. It could be better in parts, but I'm relatively happy with it.

Thanks again to all who followed this build, offered encouragement and kind words, or just laughed at some of the mishaps !!

My daughters plan on selling all the kits that I have not gotten around to build. Somewhere around 100 1/48 aircraft kits. I will not take inquires about my stash just now , as I am not dead and they are mine!
