Hi Scott

As Cees says, the Chinese Mossie is basically a replica. It is built out of IL2 parts with only the port wing of a Canadian built mossie. I wouldn't include it if I were you.

To update regarding the aircraft at the Mossie Museum:

W4050 is now undergoing restoration as per my recent correspondence on the board with Cees.

TA122 is also undergoing restoration at present, with work on the wing and fuselage underway. Refer also to note to Cees recently.

TJ118 is a whole fuselage, albeit sectioned, with the nose section in poor condition in storage, in dismantled condition. The fuselage is on public view, but is not really identified as such.

I will take some pictures next week and send them to you to update the section.

Kind regards


Bruce
