Terrific aircraft,sadly no complete one exists however in the Uk Mr Colllins is slowly building a cockpit section with many original parts.

Super work!!! Quite like a Beaufighter and Henschel 129. Most impressive!!!

Especial thanks for this one, I was trying to remember this Mosquito heir, an even more beautiful aircraft. It is a pity that it did not last, I presume that it was powered by the Griffon with contra rotating props. The sound effects would have been heart shaking, I experienced these engines in the Marine Branch RTTL's where they were partially silenced by the seawater cooling yet they still made the teeth chatter and the panels shed screws as they were winding up. Wonderful!

Another one of the great 'Lost' aircraft. None left. garlor points out that a cockpit is being built but I weep at the sight of these! They remind me of what 'Used' to be! Sorry. Heavily armed, Single seat and very fast Navel Fighter. Must have been stunning to see flying. Great 3-way. Thanks, my friend. Rob. (P.S. I know it not be your 'thing', but have you thought of doing some of the more interesting 'Civil' planes?)

Your usual superlative work, Geoff. This Mosquito successor was designed for long range fighter-bomber use in the Far East. VJ Day ended development of this very fast (470 mph)plane. Under 300 were built and used by the RAF and RN.

The pilot must have had an unusually splendid view from that forward-position. She was an amazing aeroplane in many ways, huge range, exceedingly fast, though I don't think the F1 version actually saw military action. Another fine representation - but then perfection is normal for you.
