This my latest model, being a home during lockdown helped to get this finished as the new wing leading edges are a pain to get anything like correct I tried to fit the new leading edges as a single assembly as suggest by the instructions but they were an awful fit. So I added the tops and bottoms to the appropriate wing halves then brought them together. This seemed to work but a bit of filling was still needed. Not perfect but not bad under a very bright light. X I used a set of Freightdog markings for the COs machine of 118 Squadron and they were excellent thought they need to be floated onto the model with lots of water as they stick like limpets. The nose door letter provided is yellow and it ought to be Black according to Cold War Shield by Roger Lindsay. I used a spare decal. Thanks for looking.

With the release of the new Tamiya 1/32nd Mosquito coming soon, I remembered, that I had made a couple of 1/48th scale Tamiya Mosquitos when they were first released, that had been put up the loft. I made both the FB Mk VI, and the B Mk IV. They have been up there, in a box for the last 16 plus years. This is the FB Mk VI released way back in 1998. It is painted with Aeromaster acrylic. The decals are from Aeromaster Set 48-426 Mosquito Raiders Part 11. 248 Squadron, Banff Strike Wing. The starboard fuselage roundel has lifted a bit, and a crack has appeared around a panel underneath the fuselage. I had not discovered weathering at this stage, so no panel lines or exhaust stains have been applied. Thanks for looking, Joe Can't wait for the 1/32nd Mosquito. Thanks for looking, Joe
