Malta Attacker: 23 Sqn Mosquito (Tamiya 1/72)

Nice that Md, the Day fighter (?) upper scheme over the black undersides is a good look & you've caught it well. Is there a matt coat in its future, I do think it would set it off a treat?

She looks really smart.

Thanks chaps.

 

Yes Steve it's Day Fighter Scheme with Night thrown on the underside. She'll get a flat coat and a little light weathering - just highlighting a few nooks and crannies in aluminium and then some 100-octane stains around the exhaust seems to be the way forward.

 

 

 

 

Just letting the decal softener cure on this one and the P-40 while I finish off Upholder's etchwork and rigging.

Matt coat on and weathering done, only the lenses for the lights to colour and the radio wires to add, so I'm calling this one done as far as the thread goes. I'll pop the results in the gallery soonest.

Thank you Tempest. A long way from perfect but I like her!

Kind regards,

Interesting thread, you chose a great scheme and it's turned out very nicely, great job.

[maltadefender]

Thanks everyone - I got lucky with the weather yesterday, so was furiously superglueing the aerial wires on hoping that there would still be a spot in the back garden to catch the light! She's in the cabinet now and looks rather ominous.

That looks great in that scheme, it's a very "I want to do one in that" sort of scheme.

Steve.
