A Mosquito in desert camouflage, which works nicely in my opinion, and the first aircraft model built by one Gerard De Ruiter When your modeling starts with a whiffer, you're on the right track!

Sign him up!  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

It does work nicely. Any idea what colour the undersides are ?

Got me thinking of one of my Airfix ones in a Malta camouflage now, the 3 tone blue scheme some Spits were in and I did my Beaufort in.

Way ahead of you.  That Tamiya B.IV I was cleaning up on Sunday morning?  Going to be a Highball one operating from Malta and intended for the transport scheme.  Any backstory will have it sinking the Roma.  Just done some priming on parts of it.

With the Peregrines the performance of the Whirlwind would have plummetted with those floats - definite case for re-engining to Merlins!  :wacko:

Not if it has a gyro in the float.

Whilst listening to a click-bait story about two RAF Harriers taking on 4 Tomcats, I was at first amused and then horrified at the ridiculous images on the screen ... This one I had to show you.  Rather like an unholy meld of a Harrier and a Mirage ...
