Mosquito: Airframe complete

So the Port nacelle is well underway; the starboard one still needs to be started.



Meanwhile the wing and fuselage is pretty well complete. Paint includes the red and white stripe as used by Ottawa's Spartan Air Services on the tail fin.



With the wing inserted, the navigational bits can go into the back of the cockpit which is also now essentially complete.





View through the access door.



It's a monster! The 27" wingspan means it won't fit in any of my display cabinets.



Next is to finish the port nacelle and build up the starboard nacelle.



Looking for decals for the civilian high-altitude reconnaissance version with pressurised cabin as flown by Spartan Air Services in Ottawa, Canada, from about 1955 to about 1065. Seems they had 15 Mossies,,, the sheet I want is below but is too low resolution to print. Any help is appreciated!





Given I am going to skip all the armaments, the end is near. Stay tuned!
