G'day Folk's,

Here are several pix of a Tamiya 48 scale modified B IV Mossie, the entire cockpit is from Aires, the 'Highball' was a Paragon conversion for the Airfix kit, I adapted it to the Tamiya kit, with very little trimming of the front and rear bomb bay flarring's, this model was on loan and displayed in a shop, I got it back broken, just recently, after insisting I get replacement parts [to repair my model] and a replacement B IV kit, I've started to repair my modified model. Non of my model will be displayed with that shop again.

What was broken was the antenia post, Canopy, all Nav lights and the two side windows in the bomb aimers station. The following photo's show the Aires cockpit detail all round and the 'Highball', as you can see in one of the photo's I've replaced the broken antenia mast, including new trailing antenia's, the side windows and part of the canopy.











Sorry for attaching so many photo's.

Rob.
