I just got the Fly 32 scale Ar 234 B2, Tamiya's 48 Beaufighter MkX, Trumpy's 48 Hornet F.1 and the most recent Airfix Mosquito PRXVI. Sorry there are no pics but I have been having problems with the camera lately.

Good luck with the Mosquito PR.XVI - it needs a lot of work !

It's an odd kit, combing parts from the original (1980) FB.VI kit (including the fuselage and some other parts), with new fuselage, upper wing halves and engine nacelles etc.
Fit of parts is sketchy, especially the engine nacelles, which have large gaps, but, with a bit of work, and a lot of patience, it can be built into a nice model.
See my build in Group Build #32, where I used the kit to make the earlier PR.IX, which I have yet to finish with the final touches. The thread should illustrate all of the pitfalls and solutions.

Both pretty awesome kits. The Bismarck is very well detailed.

Well, well, well. Look what taxied in my hangar door. Been waiting on this puppy for several years now. The intakes are still wrong, but that can be modified, I hope with a little bit of work. I've got instructions on how to do it. The RF-101 has been an unsung hero for far too long.
