hi all,
here we go...a friend of my father bought and started this kit but got to the point where he didn't think he could finish it.
i have always wanted to build this large scale mossie and he said i could have it. but i really don't have anywhere to keep it, so... i have said i will take over the build, finish it and return it to him.


wish me luck!

Heh, I do wish you luck. When I was 12 I built a 1/24 scale Spitfire...and thought it was beyond huge. Now when I buy a kit, I have to consider where it'll go after it's built.

So, good luck during and after your build.
