Very old Airfix Beaufighter with large scratch built ventral pannier.  New wings from equally old Airfix Mosquito.  Worse landing gear assembly/design ever!

That looks great Mr Gimper and I like your work on the ventral pannier.

Very interesting. That'll be a real head-scratcher when complete!

At first I thought "those are weird looking Hercules...." This is going to look good!

Build update. Almost ready to go into the paint shop. More PSR. Added dorsal fin and F4U tail wheel. Main LG Wheels will go on last.
