Don't know if my fellow scale modelling fans have heard, but Tamiya is coming out with a 1/32nd scale Mossie FB.VI. (http://www.hyperscale.com/2015/reviews/kits/tamiyamosquito32previewmn_1.htm) Knowing the quality of their Spitfire IX and P-51D Nustang offerings in this scale, it should prove to be most impressive...

The last time I ever built a model, it was a Hasegawa A-7 Corsair II, and that was way back in 1973 timeframe. Coincidentally, I bought other boxed models at the time, I.e. A-6 Intruder, RA-5C Vigilante, and even a Revell boxed models of the Blue Angel F-4 Phantoms. I still have all the above, stored in a Rubbermaid container. I think I attempted starting one or more of them, way back in the 70s, but never finished them. I keep thinking SOMEDAY I will build them all.:encouragement: NC
