Sounds like he would still be your uncle mate, RAAF or no RAAF! Lot's of overtime coming up???

It's a massive bird and the detailing and weathering is superb!

I only like the Jericho version and the one I will be getting. Not particularly keen on the coastal command weathering the black lines don't look too good for me.

Agree with you here. I like both planes but the big black panel lines are distracting a little bit. Finer lines would have looked much much better imo.

Does anyone know if the landing gear or wings are removeable?....Are magnets still being used or pins?

Just got word - they're on the way!

Pins i reckon,the idea "Obee" (John O'Brien) first used on my Stuka,s.

I have been notified form the Hobbybunker: The Figarti Mosquitos are on the way :salute::

Turns out the answer is both. Pins (magnetic as well) in the front, magnets only in the gear well. It's quite solid.

At last my sea freight has arrived so both the Operation Jericho and Banff Mosquitos are here in UK/Europe. Still some available to order.
Also received the Winter JS-2 and winter SU85M.
All will start shipping out on Monday.
Thanks for showing patience.

I just recieved the Figarti Mosquito ETA-051 (Banff Strike Wing Version). It seems to be fairly well done. No problems with the landing gear, nice and solid in that regard....My only complaint is that the paint on this version of the plane is definitely darker then depicted in the Figarti photos. Also Figarti tried to weather the body of the plane, attempting to depict paint loss/wear exposing bear metal^&confuse...The yellow nose cones of the propellers are also "weathered"??? with blackmarks??? wear areas????^&confuse...Over-all a good model but I would have preferred a cleaner look i.e. No "weathering" would have made for a better model in my opinion....Slightly disappointed with the painting style.
