Well Santa came early with another supply drop for my 'raing day/week/month collection. Yes its a 1/24 scale Mosquito. And a welcome return of the Achtung Unit Of Scale Measurement (tm) First up the postie struggled with a large cardboard box... yes the small white cube is a sugar cube! So the grand opening.... & A view of the lid.... Open seasame... lots of goodies... Now spread out....please note 70% of the bags have more than one sprue of bits in them.... A closeup of the main wing. And if look closly at the very vewry very thick instruction booklet -steps 1-250!!!! Should be done by Christmas./

That looks brilliant Chill, I want to see a proper build diary!
I recon it'd be a miracle if Santa brought me a nice new model.....I think that as the top of my wardrobe is stuffed with untouched or part build kits, I will have to wait a long time before any more arrive!!!

Wahoo, beautiful! THAT'S the kind of plane and size I'd have loved doing! But the box (and somebody else - you shouldn't have put a sugar cube there, my friend!) are telling me it'll definitively be a "no" go! Well, I guess I have to get over by watching your step-by-step build diary next year, Chill. (sigh!)
Good luck!

I'd guess that the aerials are done with bits of fuse wire
