Reviews ain't gonna persuade me... it's when the price tag drops below fifty quid that I'll start thinking about it! :lol:

Ive finaly got one :clap: :clap: :clap:

The box is indeed huge but thankfully the mrs knows about it (shame she dosnt know about the other 4 kits I orderd :blush: ).
I will do an in box review this weekend, but just from opening the box it looks like an impressive kit, and I never thought I would say that about an airfix kit. (although I do like there nimrod)

Looking forward to seeing this build Viper :clap: HJ711 (Elvington Mossie) please :P
I want one but its far too much money for me to waste :blush:
Maybe if the price comes down :P

Just a quick thread drift.

May I suggest this http://www.internetmodeler.com/2007/feb ... ington.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; as your next build. I had a look in the box in Modelzone yesterday, I like it a lot :P Its 29.99 down from 49.99 at the moment. Still too expensive for me, I only went in for a cheap Victor, which have all gone :grr:

Ive got one of those wellingtons in my stash that the mrs bought me about 2 years ago for my birthday. It is a very nice kit, the bomb doors alone have about 150 parts :O .

Im not sure how im going to do the mossi yet, Rob said that there is a nice sea mossi conversion on its way out which has interested me. But even the kit has got 5 different schemes included.

Shaun,

If you are looking for a decent review; http://www.scalemodellingnow.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; have two full reviews of the Mossie on there, both are super detailed and well worth a look (not trying to plug the site!)

It is a massive kit, doesnt the box alone weight 3kg?

Looking forward to seeing yours being built up!

Thanks for that, but Im to cheap to use a pay site :lol:

The box is huge and Im still not to sure where im going to put it when its built :S but I dont think I will be doing just yet as ive got 3 or 4 projects I want to do first.
