discussion Tamiya 1\48 Mosquito B MK.lV

[peterairfix]

I haven't built a mosquito in a while and definitely not this kit and I have already made a start and rather curiously they start with the wings and undercarriage the wings have already been done so I will be on with the landing gear next.
The kit.And one set of wings.Witch both need a bit of fillingAnd lastly my chosen scheme.

After a Beaufighter and the P-38 I'm considering a Mosquito next so will watch along with interest.

After completing 3 mosquitoes of different sizes in the last 12 months I will be watching with interest.

Hi Peter
Very iconic aircraft. Looks as if you're off to a good start. Landing gear looks fine.

More work done as it's to pants to go outside and as I am doing fully buttoned up it's minimum details on the inside and I now have rear fuselage and front nose section together so I will leave them to dry for a bit and get on with something else.

Looking great Peter. Always loved the mossie. Been looking recently at the 1/32 Revell kit as i cannot afford the Tamiya one.

The revell 1/32 builds into a great model. I didn't have any major issues with mine apart from the odd bit of filler but that's not the end of the world.
