Some great examples of Mossies for sure! Very well done, especially that Old Airfix kit! Well Done all around.

Marvelous Mozzies!

You can never have enough Mosquitoes - and these are superb.

Excellent.

Lovely another laddie influenced by '633 squadron' as a nipper I see  ;D
Great collection (I really like the one with Lancaster engines - definitely makes it look different from your standard Mossie)

These are gorgeous! Beautifully done! I particularly like the W4050s and the 633 Sqn bird.

Fantastic collection! I have always fancied the PR blue US mozzies; must get around to building one some day.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks all, glad you enjoyed.
I have a lot of Mossie work ahead of me, this entire box is just Mosquito aftermarket, mostly Paragon 1/72.

Thanks,

Your collection of Mosquito models brought a smile to my face...especially the old Airfix 1/72 one. After seeing the film 633 Squadron as a youngster, I've never been able to shake off the intrigue that the aircraft gives me. Nice collection of nostalgia you have there.

Thanks all.
It's hard to get that catchy 633 theme music out of my head now....
Thanks,
