    Interesting comparison with the smooth plane and the not-so-smooth undercarriage.

    Congratulations, my friend @kalamazoo! An excellent result, emerging out of your usual meticulous and methodic work, a lovely scheme (PRU Blue and Australian markings, what more to ask?) and a great build thread: thanks for the ride!

    SO THAT'S HOW YOU GLUE ON THE ANTENNA! - having a steady hand and a sharp micro drill bit must help immensely, Allan.
    That's one sharp looking Mosquito.
