Mickc’s Tamiya 1/48 DH Mosquito FB MkIV GB

[Mickc1440]

This will be my build and it looks like a nice kit. Quite a few ejector pin marks in the wrong place but nothing major. Building it with no external stores so it looks like the ones from my favourite war film 633 Squadron. Good luck everyone taking part.

I've got their 1/72 version of this in the stash, which I be read somewhere a scaled down version of this.

Good luck with the build!

They might not all be ejector pin marks Mick, the Mossie interior had a number of circular plywood discs stuck on as mounting points for various extras.

my favourite war film 633 Squadron

One of the best for sure. The kit and the am stuff should make for a great build.

I was away in deepest darkest Sussex for the start but I've managed to get some work done. Following the instructions mostly so have been cracking on with the wings.

[Valeron]

Good start. Looking forward to seeing it progress.

Hi Mick
Good to see this started. Nice to get the upper and lower wings joined - looks neat.

Same one as I'm building, well it builds itsself really I just splosh the glue on...
The raised discs on the walls of the cockpit, as others have said are reinforcement points.
