discussion Airfix 1\24 Mosquito makeover

[peterairfix]

This one is going to be not so much as under construction but but a serious make over I have most of the bits I need.
I have the roundel masks and camouflage masks I just have to source the smaller decals I may even ask airfix if I can buy a set of that's possible.
As you can see it's doesn't look too healthy.

I've seen those 'Top Notch' masks before but never used them. Will be nice to hear your take on them.

Change of plans this will be a make over but I will using it as another test bed I will just be using the paint masks.
As I will be buying a new kit as my skills have improved a bit more.
But here's what I have done I have started mending the undercarriage and sanding off the old decals and masking the cockpit canopy.
