The world needs more of your humour, and your builds are top notch for a knob. Mossie is my favorite WW2 plane. My great grandmother built them, after getting demoted from whacking artillery shells with a hammer.

"A Pharaohs' willy" I can't un see that, excellent work, this project is going to be as good as the real aircraft. Beautiful job.

I must admit, you hear aircraft flying over all the time, but when you here a merlin you snap your head around to have a look. I always get goose pimples when I here a warbird.

Those other levers next to the throttles are the propellers levers to adjust the RPM. The Mossie had constant speed props like many high-performance aircraft. The level of detail/skill you’re demonstrating is amazing! The Mossie is my favorite airplane of WW2.

I found cutting brass with a No3 you go through blades like nobody's business and there is chance they will break spectacularly. If you can still get them Exacto Handles with spent blades are great, saved spent blades over years. Built the landing gear of a scratch built Aliens Cheyne drop ship in brass, the internal frame of a 1/24 scale 3.5 foot high Scout Battlemech and the spine of an Eagle Transporter in brass tubing.

Incredible, should have far more subscribers,although i do prefer to have the sound off🤔

The end result is fantastic, but there are a lot of very fragile fiddly parts, some just break getting them off the sprue, the undercarriage is very weak

Thank you so much, very much appreciated for the kind comments. Tell me about, the landing gear will be a stand alone of how to improve the mossie gear. Also the little parts to break a lot, but what i find weird is the large parts have such an excellent fit, but the small parts are vague and lacking detail. Weird to me anyway

I bought this kit for £45 in a London home furnishings shop about 10 years ago simply to make some money on...I put it on eBay and sold it for £110 rubbing my hands together...Then 2 years ago I got back into the hobby and now I can't justify the £250 it's going for these days....and I'd love it...Arggghhh!...I'm not a wheeler dealer and this was an exception for me but was an obvious cash return...I got bitten...Never again!

My wife says that it is liquid enough to go through a hypodermic needle and what a great idea, but will need to flush it out with some solvents or replace the needle every time.

The Peoples Mosquito have the original plans, Salisbury Hall all the reference material I need plus a 57mm Molins Gun. And I have photo’s of the Highball Anti Ship buster Mossie, developed in secret by Wallis and flown by Winkle Brown. The Mosquito, the first twin engined plane to take off and land on a carrier.

This kit made them bankrupt due the price of the item so the story goes.

Well that cockpit looks amazing, and you obviously have great skill and craft but I had to stop watching the vid cus of all the oooer stuff.

No that is fair and I understand that you think the modelling is ok and you think I might be a good guy, which I think I am. But there are a lot of channels that do modelling and quite a few, for one reason or another I do not like them, monotone voice, poor editing (including sound), or I do not like the person doing the video. I understand commenting on the editing or if the modelling is wrong, but I do not understand because of humour, maybe the language is a bit excessive and need to tone that well down, but I like taking the piss out of myself, I find it funny. We all need humour and for a 40mins video, i think monotone talk about modelling is just not going to get the point across, while having a 40mins video showing the whole build is not going to show anything, other than look at me I am amazing. Like I said before I am all for free speech, but the humour is going to stay. I have never commented on anyone else’s modelling channel vids and said the humour is not what I’ve come here for, i’ll go watch a carry on, all I have done is simply gone, do not recommend channel. That way I have voiced my own dislike by not even being there. So I think you understand I am not doing this to be the top 1% on youtube and for me to go around and say look at how many subs I have, just doing for the love of the hobby and I love modelling. Wow, like an essay that, suffice to say, don’t like, click on the do not recommend channel. Cheers
