Nicolas, Rando & Moreno Baruffini, welcome to the project!

Moreno Baruffini
Thanks to you! Really a great start!

Rando
Had no idea that they made a carrier borne Mosquito til I saw this project, lots of interesting and unique features to include here

J35J
@Rando - Thanks for your intrest, indeed it is a quite unique bird.
Derived from the Mosquito the Sea Mosquito was intended to be used aboard the Fleet Air Arm's aircraft carriers. During its time in service it would only be used by land based squadrons. Two variants of the de Havilland Sea Mosquito were built and only 67 was produced.

Very interesting project. Looking good J35J. Following 👍

Łukasz Gliński
Joining the party 👍 very nice job so far

J35J
Thanks Neil & Łukasz Gliński for your comments.

Andy Ball
well, this version I haven't heard of, so I'll crane my neck over yours...

Łukasz Gliński
Seems quite a logical idea - staying afloat in case of ditching into the sea 😄

Bernd Grün
Very nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.

J35J
Thanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.

David Taylor
I'm in.

Rando
Damn what a clean paint job.

J35J
Thanks David & Rando for you comments. Much appreciated👍🏻
Paint job and a light weathering in progress. Need to crack on with the decals in next phase before getting the folded wings in place.

Robert Podkoński
Somehow I missed this project before... And I have never heard about Sea Mossie up to now... Great job so far - keep it up!

BC NRA
This is very impressive work. I didn't know there was a Sea Mosquito.

J35J
Thanks BC NRA for your kind comments. Yes, the Sea Mosquito was a rare bird. Always fun to research & build the more odd versions.

Guy Rump
Looking great! 👍

Heyo all! I have not really posted anything about this particular project yet, even though is has been holding me up for quite a bit of time now...
As modellers, our hobby naturally includes a lot of problem-solving and some challenges and maybe I should not be complaining, but it felt like this particular project trew a bunch of sticks and stones in my path:
Firstly, the resin Humber Scout Car was abit of a challenge with all the sanding and cutting that comes with these types of kit... apparently taking the place of the instructions, which I did not get any of. With a bit of research however, it was overall ok to build.
Secondly, the Roden Panzerwerfer has rubber tracks which I knew were too short beforehand. Thus I first bought a 3D printed replacement running-gear from FC Modeltrend. That piece however turned out to be an example of how not to do 3D-printed products: it sat on the plate without any angle and was a single piecewith two tracks, the suspension and some chassis-parts... how does one support such a print? Apparently not correctly, as the supports along the side-details of the wheels and suspension parts were partially "molten" into the details which in the end prevented me from using this piece. If you have a micro-drill, calm hands and a lot of time, one could "carve out" the supports and reinstate the details, I suppose... For me, switching to a Modelltrans-set (one piece running gear for each side) was the order of the day. It is not perfectlycast either, but after some adjustment, I made it fit the Roden kit. Using the PE-set and doing the interior took a lot of time as well, but that was largely fine.
As said, maybe I am complaining too much and in that case do take these notes as a simple report on the difficulties experienced so far in this project... rant is over 👍

Guy Rump
Looking good. 👍

Lukas Muller
Good job Tom 👍!

Pepe
Woooooow!!!!

Alec K
Looks great so far! I certainly appreciate your report as it highlights challenges one can encounter: so rant away 🙂 👍

Tom B.
Appreciate your interest mates 👍 maybe I´m able to get the groundwork ready to paint with some additional scatter and some static grass

gorby
With the problems you encountered I'm surprised it looks as good as it does.

Tom B.
Finished pictures are now up as well!
