While in hobby place (in melbourne australia) one day I
was eyeing off the wide variety of models stacked up to the ceiling. A limited
edition revel 1/32 scale beaufighter with photoeched cockpit caught my eye but
being a stingy bastard I opted for a slightly cheaper revel 1/32 scale mosquito
without the special edition. Boy was I stupid I ended up despairing of the mosquito
and buying the beaufighter anyway. However on getting the beaufighter home I again
looked at the mosquito and began to see possibilities in it. I dredged up an old
magazine that was lying around my room with a article about mosquitos in it and
did some research. I finally came to the conclusion that I should build the prototype
night fighter as it was all black (an easy spray paint job) and there was no bomb
aimers position in the nose, which in the revell model has so little detail in
it you wonder what they thinking because other bits of the plane are quite well
detailed apart from raised panel lines.
This is a picture of a NF.II which can give you an idea
of what the model will look like until the model is completed.
