The flaps can dangle down, but I think the airlerons are straight when parked. They are connected and are either up/down or down/up and don't work like the elevator.
I think you're being a bit harsh on this basic kit, I made this as the Mk.XVIII and was very pleasantly surprised, compared to the original release back in the 1950's this was a quantum leap forward. The no-shimmying tail wheel was a pleasant surprise as was the fit apart from the 57mm canon housing but the wings were superbe I reckon Tamya would have been proud.. Yes i agree the interior detailing is a bit sparse and the canopy was very thick could have easily been replaced by Arfix but lets face it the exterior of the mossi is a very plain aircraft, but at least there were two crew members supplied, now if only Airfix could dicky up the cockpit and replace the canopy and re-release the model they could add three more marks to their range , the FB Mk.VI the night fighter and the Mk.XVIII to the B. Mk.XVI and the PR. Mk.XVI. I'd buy them.
"This was done using white styrene cardboard type stuff." A modeller after my own heart.😂 Looking forward to part 2. I have one of these in the Mosquito/262 Dogfight Double.
I had that short short on one of my wings on the earlier kit. I found it in a previous 40 year old stash late last year - it was my last kit from that period. Fixed it with a bit of filler 😊
That was most enjoyable to watch particularly your foray into scratch building. Well done! It's nice to see some old school modelling. Just one small note. The wheel hubs you've selected are incorrect for an FB.VI. These variants had solid hubs on both sides. Later types also followed suite. It was only the prototype and B.IVs that had the slotted hub, and these faced to port, whilst the starboard side were solid. A small matter, but perhaps something to note for future builds. Just saying. Good presentation. 👍
what a sloppy way to insult someone, in a foreign language you think they dont speak... I look forward to seeing the video of your effort. i hope since you've criticised mine, you can do better? cos if not...

Welcome back, nice job on upgrading this kit, Tam 💥👍💥
Thanks mate.

Tam I have more books on modelling than I have room on shelves for, even models I do not make these days.

i enjoyed the scratch building as its the first time i've ever done any, so i would build this kit again!

Thats the official term right there ;)

I used sprue goo, and then rescribed the panel lines 😌

Menuda manera más chapucera de trabar, pintura cabina a pincel sin imprimación, cables super dimensionado, pulido lo basto....😮
