John's 1/72 Matchbox Mosquito Build.

[Guest]

Good luck with this John. Remember, just think of it as a lorry, with fewer wheels and some strange sticking out bits, and you’ll be fine. Should be a good build…Matchbox stuff was always fun when I was a kid. If you want cockpit colours, by the way, I posted a 360 view site on the GB discussion thread a while back.

Good idea Tim, I'll check that out , thank you.

Was it painted 4BO ? You will be really at home if it was.
John.

Unfortunately it arrived in British colours, so ordered some in, which I now have ready to hurl John.

I don't know Dude 2....The way I see it, you'll have no probs building this little thing. Maybe some small parts to deal with, but not that many in this kit. I am a bit upset that your kit is molded in one of the base colors. All you have to do is paint the other color and the underside. Then gloss it, add the decals and then matt coat the puppy to be done. Sorta like cheating I think.....LOL!!!..........

Aw, just have fun and go for it John. I really want to see how you do the crash scene myself........PM, with luck, later..............

I'll follow with interest for two main reasons: John building a wingy thing and for the huge amount of abuse and bantering already going on. :smiling3:
