Build the highly anticipated 1:24th Airfix Mosquito in 3 minutes 41 seconds? Thats even faster than Betheyn builds kits!
Heres the Airfix computer renderings of the kits assembly.

Not a dab of filler in sight!

Wish all my models went together that easily! Fascinating viewing.

Holy cow!!! How big is this going to be?? Definitely have to clear a big space to work on it and 100lb fishing line to hang it from the ceiling.

From the rendition it appears that the underwing bombs may not be with the kit which would be a pity as I am sure the Aussie squadron (464??) used them on the Amiens prison raid.

It will certainly be interesting to see what markings come with it too.

I just hope the Aussie dollars makes a rapid recovery against the pound otherwise this will be a $200+ dollar kit here.

Hi Nige

I hope that's not the suggested construction sequence! I don't think the animator has built many aircraft kits...

But seriously, it should be a stunning model! The rumour always was that Airfix had done all the design work for a 1/24 scale Mossie way back in the 1970s before a previous recession wrecked everything(!) (the data formed the basis of their 1/48 scale kit) - let's all hope it sees the light of day this time!

All the best

Rowan
