Ive heard from a good source today that there is a "full scale Mosquito" replica under build somewhere in Australia.....

Anyone know akready or have more or have photos?

Is well on the way to make flying appearances maybe within the next year at airshows...if what im told is right.

Terry Kronk's building a flying scale replica near Toowoomba. His 80% scale Mustang flew yesterday..

He has apparantly previously fitted a 80 scale bare metal "Supermarine Spitfire 26 with small block 350cu inch V8 Chevy?, and then scratch built a metal 80% FW-190 replica with a Russian M-14 radial fitted?



Pictures of his 80% Mustang are apparantly available on line,



I do wonder what type is sitting in the foreground and having apparant repairs or modifications to its tailplane leading edge?

80% scale F8F Bearcat on the way too....

In a box enroute from USofA..

Mmmmm

smiles,

I dont have any inside info on this one, google found those pics on Prunne etc.

I understand from others that its not full scale, but I havent seem any details yet.

This pic was posted on the KP/Flypast site by someone who lives nearby it.



The Mossie is my #1 Fav type and a good looking single seat 80% scale replica in metal would be awesome!

(Although I wouldnt mind having his polished metal 80% Mustang either - smiles)

I'm not sure what the donor fuselage is? and what wings/engine is being used? but at the apparant rate of progress I'm sure we will get to see more photos soon.
