discussion My 1st 1/32 build...

[Peej]

This is my 1st 1/32 build. The revell Mosquito. It is brush painted with revell paints. I bought some decal fix from John and it made the job of putting them on so much easier. Now it's finished I haven't got a clue where I can display it. Might have to stick to building the smaller scales.

Thanks Peter, sorry for helping you spend your money. You will enjoy it, no fitting worries.

Nice Job Paul. You did pick a big one to start the 1/32 scale in though....
They creep up on you from the shelves. I built ONE 1/32 scale a few years back, I prefer 1/48. Large enough to work on, small enough to show....
I now have three 1/32 scales built and about six in the stash.....You have been warned. LOL

Unfortunately I rather like a mossie, so one day one of those is going to attack me when it sees me.... :-/

You certainly picked a biggie for your first 1/32 and you did an excellent job with a old tool kit.

My suggestion with large scale kits when you have limited space is to be selective and go for quality, spend a bit more on the model, take your time and just enjoy the experience. Quality not quantity.

Remember a 1/32 Spitfire takes up less space than a 1/72 Lancaster (Spit wingspan 14’’ Lanc 17’’)

My recommendation for your next 1/32 (I know you want to...) is the Tamiya Corsair , not too big but it represents the peak of model engineering and is a real treat to build.

Great result Paul. Very good paint work, must have taken ages with the brushes.

Great result Paul. Very good paint work, must have taken ages with the brushes.

Took a while especially with having to give it 2or 3 coats to get good coverage.

Nice job Paul, and what a monster. I can't see a brush stroke anywhere.
