Mosquito: modified build sequence



For anyone considering tackling the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito: After carefully pondering the 56-page instruction book, I decided to change the assembly order, mainly because Step 5 involves a structure that will be easily damaged. Here is the order I built it in (numbers refer to the Airfix assembly step): 

1-4, 
6-8, 
9 (except part 37L), 
11 (except part 39L), 
12-15, 
17-24, 
16, 
25-27, 
10 (including parts 37L and 39L), 
5, 
28-33, 
35-37, 
34, 
38-42. 


For Steps 42 to 143 I have followed sequence in the instructions; I am presently stopped at 144 but have done 220-225. So far this has worked out, and there were no points where I realised afterwards that changing the order was a mistake. 



Stay tuned! Progress is being made.
