Hi Nash

Here's a pic of that Mossie that sits next to my PC.  Sorry for the picture quality, just did a quick pic using my gf's digi camera.

What model kit was that?

I'm in the process of putting a Tamiya 1/48 scale Mosquito FB.MkVI together.

Hi Karnak

It's an Airfix model kit which do a very large amount of kits, but imo not as good quality as the Tamiya ones.  I'm currently doing an RAF Mustang III Tamiya model, and also got a Beaufighter TF.X Tamiya model awaiting to be built.
