Cheers Stuart.
The undercarriage comes next, this assembly seems to wreak havoc on many Airfix Mossie builds and I managed to demolish my first ever attempt at it. I now build this assembly in this way- I cut short the main axle pins and glue the other sides to the opposite legs, when they have dried I trim those pins down also so that the wheels can be clipped in place after the U/C has been glued into the nacelles. To assemble the units I glue each joint separately using cyano as I would with white metal or etch parts and then cement the units in position without wheels so that there is plenty of room for tweezers or cocktail sticks as needed to properly position the attachment pins into the nacelles. When this has dried the wheels can then be clipped into place.
The last parts have now been fitted and the model is finished.

Another excellent one
I can just picture it wheeling above the African landscape in pursuit of the Black Raider...
