That Mossie is absolutely beautiful. :shock: This plane has instantly jumped to the front of my must buy list. Thank you Admiral.

Betting Aferg just pee'd all over himself.... :lol:

Risky subject though, I mean, this thing is going to be HUGE and how many can one collector buy given the size and the obvious big price tag? :?

Most excellent! By my calculation, it will have a wingspan of 36.1 inches. Big. Beautiful.

That'd put it about the same size as 21st's Avenger, right?

A B-25 would be about 8" wider and 9" longer so what's stopping them from going there other than cost?

Congrats on the Mosquito, guys. At least I can buy a 1/32 kit and not wait around for BBI or whoever.

I would ask for a P-39, Tempest and KI-84, but I think I would tip over if it actually happened. We have been asking for this plane for a long, long time and I applaud Admiral for stepping up to the plate on this one.

This is such good news!
Kudos to Admiral for venturing into the twin engine bomber realm!

This just took priority over the JSI Tomcat for me as I'm more of a WWII fan. I could see myself buying multiples. I imagine we'll get a night fighter too.

Happy happy joy joy!
