Good stuff guys.

Terry, you did well on that Revell Mossie but it's a pity that you now no longer have the better Airfix spinners that you sent me. Your generosity has left you without the option to replace them. You'll also want to turf those ridiculous kit tires and replace them with something a little more realistic.

This is the Hobbycraft kit...

Anything look similar?

Geo

I'll have to look inside the box a bit later and confirm. The decals looks similar with the black o'lined Roo.
Thanks for the look Geo.

Good stuff Bill. Probably, as George says, the Hobbycraft kit, and I think Italeri did one at one time too.

Andy - no problem, it's the Airfix kit of the FBVI I won, not Revell's BIV. The prop blades are the 'paddle' type, so those, and another set in the spares box, will go to make two Hamilton Standard props for my P-47s, and spare De Havilland blades will go on the Mossie. The spinners I sent you might have been Airfix, or could have been the original Monogram kit items - they'd been in the spares box for around 30 years or more, so can't remember!

All I could find was a company called Ideal. I wonder if it's a knock-off of the Hobbycraft kit. They were complaining a few years ago about an Asian company. It would be interesting to compare the innards of the two kits.

Sounds familiar....

Hi,
if you are going to build "that" bird, I think that the correct picture to refer to is the following:

taken from this book:

In my opinion also the number 11 is black with a white outline.

Instead decals seems to be referring to this profile:

taken from

but the one downed by Beurling is the other one.
May be I have other pictures of the good one, if I find them, I will let you know.

Thanks Alberto, appreciated!

Good stuff guys. Terry, glad to hear you're squared away. The Revell kit has lots of spare parts so let me know if you're looking for anything. It does have the paddle blades as well and I didn't use the Merlins.

 

[N4521U]

Appears it's a Japanese market Hobbycraft kit

 

[Wayne Little]

Better than a poor knock off copy Bill....
