Alley Cat continue their amazing series of conversion sets for the Airfix 1/24 Mosquito. The Mk XVIII ''Tse-Tse'' were fitted with a Molins "6-pounder Class M" cannon, weighing 1,580 lb (716 kg) fitted with an automatic loader to allow both semi- or fully-automatic fire, in the nose, along with two .303 in (7.7 mm) sighting machine guns.

I can confirm that this is a fabulous conversion - I've just started work on an Airfix Mossie using this set, and both casting quality and fit are top notch. I'll start a build log in the near future and get some pictures up.
