That sounds very do-able even for me
Now who wants to swap some Aeromaster Mitchell decals for some nightfighter decals

I'm beginning to feel a little inadequate with all these quick builds going on.
Mind you I'm clearing the work area ready for the 3rd Anniversary build which is a BIG job!  _________________ Bubbly! |

I've applied for membership, aiming to do a Hurricane IIC from the BBMF set in the colours of Jan Kuttelwascher's 'Night Reaper', possibly with others to follow if I get it done quickly.
Good going on the quick builds! |

Dear forum members!
I've applied the group build with a pair of Swedish Mosquitos under the sign "A pair of Swedish postwar nightfighters from 1948..."
Of course it's postwar, but the Mosquito, anyway, took extensive action as a nightfighter, also in Sweden.
Best Merlin |

Hi Merlin,
I'm afraid you may have slightly missed the point of the ATF Group Builds.....Please take some time to read the Group Build Rules:
http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/about4601.html
In the mean time I have merged your outstanding Mosquito builds into the Airfix 1/72 D.H. Mosquito NF.XIX/J.30 (03062) Gallery here:
http://airfixtributeforum.myfastforum.org/viewtopic.php?t=3752
They really are lovely models and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
All the best
