Maritime Aircraft Group Build Discussion

[A4K]

One question - would a Mosquito FB.XVIII count? Technically it is a fighter, but with a dedicated sub-hunting gun.

It fits in the guidelines; primarily over ocean operations with a mission to specifically attack U-boats on the surface with a large cannon.

I also join the group, even if a little late, hoping to be able to complete this old Supermodel kit

Great choice! The same model (later reboxed by Italeri AFAIK) was at my local hobby shop, among dozens of old models. I was keen to buy it because of a livery I've seen as a child (which is shown as a boxart BTW):

Unfortunately the price was too high, compared with other models for sell and I believe I ended buying 2-3 Japanese Otaki/Arii 1/48 models for the money they wanted. Great to see it build here.
Cheers!

Yes, Catch 22,I also have the Italeri that I will build together with this one and that will serve as a master to reproduce the pieces of the interior that were not there in the old Supermodel... The red striped livery is beautiful

Thanks! I do remember reading about the interior being added to the new Italeri-model but at that time I stopped collecting any further information. You have a great plan for that double-build! Kudos!
