1/12 scale de Havilland Mosquito
See photos below. Here are the basic specs:
54" span, Selig 8036 airfoil
Twin Norvel .15's
Final weight s/b 4.5 to 5 lbs
All scratchbuilt from online photos and a 1/72 Airfix model.
It's not 100% scale. I reduced the wing taper, and changed the fuselage a little. Also, I lengthened the tail moment and increased the tail surfaces slightly. The nacelles were simplified.
I can't decide how to paint it. Nightfighter (in which case I have to change the nose)? D-Day? or maybe the de Havilland prototype yellow?
What do you think?
