John,

I wouldnt dare to put my head in the modellers lions den! I think you had better come armed with slide rule, string and tape, and do the measuring yourself – you would be more than welcome any time. We did meet there some years ago!

Incidentally, Tamiya took all their measurements from our aircraft – as did Revell at about the same time…..

Apologies for the late reply – been away for the weekend.

My apologies I have just seen your reply. Yes we have met, and I would like to make another visit to your excellent museum. I had heard that Tamiya had been to the museum but as there are some folks who think the kit dimensions are wrong, I’d like to put my own file together, as it wouldn’t be the first time that there has been conflict between reality, myth, manufacturers handouts and “my mate says”. Newark is another museum who have been very accomodating to my foibles of appearing with tapes, levels and plumb lines. I hope to see you when the museum is next open.

Regards

John

Unfortunately, Thursday is one of those days where you wont find anyone around in the winter.

Even though we are closed, you will usually find a welcome on Saturdays and Sundays, and donations are always welcome.

John, if there is anything specific you need, then please feel free to ask!

Kind regards

Bruce

I would like to know the overall dimensions of the Mosquito fin and rudder as there is a bit of a wobble going on in the scale model world ref the height of the vertical tail on the Tamiya kit. and with the new Revell one iminent, forewarned is fore armed. I was down that way this morning at Alan Hall’s funeral.

Regards

John
