The wood effect is brilliant

[Twokidsnosleep]

How cool is that!!!
Never seen one without paint all in wood

[Avgas]

Top job, unusual paint scheme (or lack of it!). Great execution and great imagination in coming up with that idea.

Superb work John. Great final reveal. The Mossie looks beautiful in its birthday suit.

Nice work. Did you use any reference photos for the paint scheme? I'm just curious. I'm sure they looked like this before paint. It amazes me how much wood was used in the construction of the mosquito. Someday when I'm feeling ambitious I might build the 1/32. Again, great work!!!!

OMG that is brilliant John, the best kit I've seen in ages. Well done mate..

[Johnj]

[RossiM1]

Awesome was fascinated following the build but that is just stunning,

[MrGav]

Has been a pleasure watching this come together, one of my favourite aircraft in a totally different finish, stunning work

[Tomcat64]

I hope I'm not being presumptuous, but so you think it might be worth editing the first post so that the video is at the very top of the thread? Just because I don't think many people looking at the thread for the first time will scroll to the second page once they see all of the broken links in the first post.

It such a good model that it would be shame if people don't see it because they assume the pictures are no longer available

Also - to properly imbed the You Tube video you don't copy and paste the whole url into the You Tube brackets, just the bit at the end (so in this case it would be the 'bjfGelEmtps' part of the url)
