Alright alright. I could never get the correct der die or das. Having three words for "the" is a bloody silly invention anyway.

I'll take a Hawker Hurricane anyday! A Hurricanes great maneuverability and 8 .303 machine guns will tear any WW2 period aircraft to shreds in seconds.

There is a guy in New Zealand building a new Mossie in his garage at home. The fuselage is completed already. He is currently working on the wings. I'll see if I can find some more stuff for you, I posted something a while back in Specific Aircraft Wink

Ah the Sunderland. An incredibly handsome yet deadly aircraft. Just one question, I knew it had huge amounts of guns on board, just were where they all mounted? (Aside from the obvious 8 in the turrets.)

Im a New Zealander myself so ive done alot of ivestigation.  The guy is building a whole range of bodies for the mosquito, a bit like a production line, but i dont think hes making the rest for a while.  BUT BUT BUT!!!!! THeres another man in New Zealand who has sittin in his back paddock, a complete mossie not used since it was sold, with engines and cockpit and all,(sure the engines will need an overhaul but its do-able).  And i think he also has a Mustang and two kitty hawks..But im only 76% sure on that..  And hes not gona sell any of them.

lol
cheers
