Not ready to start just yet, but very soon I will be.
My intended first entry for the 2012 Big Spring Contest will be the Revell Germany 1/48 Mosquito B Mk. IV in the markings of Wing Commander Guy Gibson's (DFC, DSO, VC) 627 Sqn Mosquito Mk.XX (serial number KB267). Wing Commander Gibson earned the Victoria Cross while commanding 617 Sqn during the Dambuster raids over the Ruhr River Valley. Gibson was killed in action on September 19th of 1944 in this aircaft after a succesful pathfinder mission over Rheydt Germany.
I will be using Aeromasters Mosquito Raiders pt V sheet Featuring Gibsons AZ@E, and also BarracudaCals Mosquito Stencils which I have on order. I may also replace the kits spinners and landing gear with the more accurate parts from the Airfix kit. Not planning on using any other aftermarket items for now, but I will be attempting to convert the kits 250lb bombs into smoke markers .
