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

J35J@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.

Andy Ballwell, this version I haven't heard of, so I'll crane my neck over yours...

Łukasz GlińskiSeems quite a logical idea - staying afloat in case of ditching into the sea 😄

Bernd GrünVery nice project. It turns out very well. 👍 Didn't know anything about Sea Mosquitos.

J35JThanks mates for your intrest and kind comments. The project is slowly moving forward. Waiting for some photo etch parts.

J35JThanks David & Rando for you comments. Much appreciated👍🏻
Paint job and a light weathering in progress. Need to crack on with the decals in next phase before getting the folded wings in place.

J35JThanks BC NRA for your kind comments. Yes, the Sea Mosquito was a rare bird. Always fun to research & build the more odd versions.

J35JThanks Thomas for your kind comments.
Just realized going for the final photos that I missed the wind shield wiper for the front screen. Details, details…🙈😅

Łukasz GlińskiVery cool. Wish I could get that conversion set. The nose pimple is just a cherry on the cake 😄

J35JFinal pictures added. Project completed!
Fun build, pretty straightforward with the paragon conversion kit. Did some additional exterior detailing. Lesson learned - I should have gone with the Tamiya kit instead of Hasegawa. This due to Tam's better detail level both regarding interior and exterior. Now I had to compensate with additional resin and photo etch instead.
Going for some R&R now. Have a nice summer mates! 🏖️😎

flyingpotato222i didn't even know they made a carrier-borne variant and it looks really good

J35JThanks flyingpotato222, Mark Sherwood and Mr D for your kind words. Much appreciated!
@Mark Sherwood, someday a Sea Hornet will join the collection. Built the land based Hornet some years ago. Quite a pesky experience with a limited run kit.

Mark SherwoodI know the feeling, re: Limited run kit's 😫 I know Trumpy' do both versions re: the Hornet, but may have accuracy issues as they do with most British subjects (or is it Special Hobby. Age bloody age🤣)

J35J@Mark Sherwood - this one it's was a rather new kit from AZ models. The canopy fit was dreadful.
