Suresh Nathan Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hi guys been busy with this one (https://www.largescaleplanes.com/articles/article.php?aid=3569). Many aftermarket parts but really only the undercarriage and cockpit was necessary. The rest was scratchbuilt. Really enjoyed this build. Let me know what you think. Suresh.

Greif8 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Top quality build and very clever painting to show camo and natural finish. Does the aircraft replicate a PFF Mosquito? Ernest Suresh Nathan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeC Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Very nicely done, and pleased to see a PR version depicted. What are the items in the bomb bay (apart from cameras)? Photo flares? Suresh Nathan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the items in the bomb bay (apart from cameras)? Photo flares? Thank you Mike. Those are UK issued photoflash bombs. They were definitely used in PRIX's but I assumed they would be in this PRIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it was a pathfinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the aircraft replicate a PFF Mosquito? Ernest No, it's a PR (photographic reconnaissance) aircraft. PFF - Pathfinder Force - aircraft were specialist bomber squadrons of Bomber Command. Their purpose was to mark targets for the main bomber force. Two very different, but equally vital, roles.
