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

![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
@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.

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

Thomas, I knew you were going to get this kit! 🙂
I was hesitating a lot between the Swedish box and the Jordanian box. It took me a long time to decide, but in the end I ordered the Jordanian one because I already have several future projects with that fantastic Swedish scheme.
I follow you with great interest (as always). It is quite possible that I will finally regret choosing the Jordanian box 😉

![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Did some dry-fitting yesterday, and just as I expected by the looks of it, it is definitely A-model quality. A lot of fettling, scraping and sanding is required for a decent fit of the major parts such as the fuselage halves and the wings. Good thing it is a small model!
11 August 2022, 07:18
![](/profiles/img/20363-907-s.jpg)
It seems that it is of the same "quality" as their SF260 and Alpha jet kits. Have you ever built the venerable Airfix kit ?
11 August 2022, 08:19
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
I will watch too how you turn this ugly duck into a beautiful swan.
11 August 2022, 08:52
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Erik, I actually think that this is a retooling of the Airfix kit. Slightly different parts and recessed panel lines, but the breakdown is almost identical.
11 August 2022, 09:29
![](/profiles/img/18052-335-s.jpg)
I´m following. Looks like a bunch of work to get a proper model out of this kit. I'm sure you will handle it.
11 August 2022, 13:57
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
I think KP/AZ should start an improvement their molds after so many kit releases and sales, as Special Hobby has already successfully done. It is curious that for some kits they make good molds (such as the Bf-109) and for others they are so mediocre.
Despite this, I am sure that Thomas will do an extraordinary job 👍
11 August 2022, 19:51
![](/profiles/img/48972-166-s.jpg)
I am a little late, but from now I will follow with pleasure and interest (like all Thomas's previous builds 😉 )
14 August 2022, 17:36
![](/profiles/img/33587-335-s.png)
Looks like a lot of craftsmanship will go into this kit before the end of the build... Curiously following 👍

This little kit is definitely putting up a fight in every step. Silly me, I thought this was going to be a relaxed weekend project, ha ha. 🙂

KP short run = long work. I prefer Vallejo putty for filling seams on this type of kits, as it comes with a fine tip
15 August 2022, 18:39
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Erik yes, I think the photo shows a bit of my frustration with the seam lines. It should not be like this for a 2022 tooling.
15 August 2022, 19:34
![](/profiles/img/27826-126-s.jpg)
Thomas, will the skinny front landing gear hold the weight of all those fishing weights?
17 August 2022, 10:59
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
Well, those weights are juuuust barely enough to keep the Bulldog on its nose gear and still kind of pivots around its main gear. Good thing that the entire engine compartment behind the dashboard is empty so with some Tetris skills you can fill it completely with those fishing weights.
17 August 2022, 17:44
![](/profiles/img/20363-907-s.jpg)
So the front wheel does not support any weight, as the nose is in balance with the tail. I had the same problem with KPs SIAI Marchetti, and the SH Marchetti needs also quite some weight in the nose.
17 August 2022, 17:57
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
not a shake an bake-kit for sure. I like how you tackle it. For maximum usage of weight in tight spaces consider lead granules. They come rather cheap by the kilogram and have a diameter of max 1 - 2 mm. You can even drill a hole into the fuselage after it is closed and pour the granules in - followed by some white glue to fix them.
18 August 2022, 08:16
![](/profiles/img/57594-145-s.jpg)
After having lingered in the limbo state of half-finished projects, I have decided to reboot this build. The screwed up paintjob was removed with IPA alcohol and the model is now back to bare plastic. Some correcting fills are done and it is soon time to reapply the primer. I will make my life easier this time and just build the standard Swedish Air Force version. But I have already purchased a second kit to be finished with the Swedish Army splinter camouflage as I think I know this time how to do it properly. Stay tuned!
5 July, 14:37
![](/profiles/img/129970-991-s.jpg)
Great to see that you have restarted the kit. The weight distribution is a real pain. Had similar challenges with my Airfix SK61 build some months ago, Liquid Gravity sorted the issue.
SwAF livery will look aces. Keep up the spirit!👏🏼👍🏻
5 July, 15:47
![](/profiles/img/user-s.jpg)
No idea what that livery will look like, but nice that this one is back at the bench. Reminds me of my Safir which is at a similar state.

The air intake on this kit needs to be rebuilt. It's not too difficult. Worse is the flash on the nose cone. Mine was a blob of plastic that needed to be filed down to shape.
