Wow! It looks every bit as gorgeous as I expected!

All the best

I will definitely be getting one of these, it will look good alongside the HKM MkIV. I'm hoping that my Camo masks will fit them both but, if there are any slight discrepancies I will simply produce a set for this. I will also produce canopy masks and, of corse there will be marking sets and over wing radiator warning marks

Do we get BOAC markings?

without a doubt it's the new standard of excellence in large scale modeling. But the est. MSRP of $260+ is way more then my modeling fund could afford if I decided that I must have one. I do see online retailers like Sprue Brothers listing the kit for under the $200 mark.

Yes I can do any of the BOAC markings, although wern't they applied to the Mk IV?

Ohh this is so tempting, I live in an area of coventry where a 1066 were built so this kit just keeps calling to me, pesky tamiya with your irresistable kits.

The Tamiya is a Mk VI, non? I've always understood that BOAC used FB.VI Mossies. That's what my 1/48 Liveries Unlimited sheet says, and I trust Jennings' research.

Whatever the version, I can do produce masks for the BOAC livery

Scrumptious, though I want to see what AM decals, etc. come out.

A basic thought. Why doesn't Tamiya use scanner and 3-D printing for the original 1/35 to do a 1/35? I got over mixing 1/32 with my collection of Tamiya, etc, tanks, vehicles, figures, etc, cause I spend too much time on them to goof up a diorama with adding a 1/32 plane to the mix. Why go to all that trouble researching a vehicle, finding great aftermarket stuff, adding several 1/35 resin and/or 1/35 plastic and resin figures which hit at average of $17.00 for one and then not care what scale a plane is? Especially with the super critical (go man go!) viewers over at Missing Links? And those "smal"l problems with mixing scales, well a P51, a Spit, a ME109 or ME262 were pretty small compared to today's fighters, but those same mentioned kits in 1/32 are more like a B25 Mitchell when put next to a Sherman or Tiger.
