Morning guys, i was not sure at first, if i should show this one here, but even though it did not turn out as good as i hoped for, there are still parts of the build with which i m happy So, i decided to give it a try This is Mosquito FB Mk.VI from the very nice Tamiya 1/72 kit. It was built as part of Less than a tenner group build here on BM, here is WIP link for anyone interested http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234955313-mosquito-fb-mkvi-172-tamiya-finished-yea-lets-call-it-that/ . The goal was to keep the spirit of the GB, so no aftermarket stuff was used, just scratchbuild using some evergreens, wires and home scrapyard. I was running out of time at the end, so i had to ignore some ideas i had and mossie is not carrying full load of rockets/bombs she should, ll be added later hopefuly The list of changes/additions would be quite long, so just in short: - new cockpit + inner construction inside the canopy frame - new interior in the fuselage behind/between wings - new bomb bay (back one, ran out of time to add the front one, though the front bomb bay doors are glued with white glue so i ll be able to add there later) - new rocket launchers + guards between launchers and fuel tanks (there should be 4 rockets under each wing) - some more details added here and there The camo should be the RS625 NE*D. The plane was originaly painted with light grey overall + green fields on top side, later repainted with extra dark sea grey on top and sky on bottomside. On some areas the original camouflage was showing through the EDSG. I tried to achieve the effect on the kit too, its quite good visible on live and on photos taken outside, but i dont have good enough camera (using phone) and lights to show it good on the photos taken inside.. Anyway, here are some of the better photos (speaking about "yay i can see something here", not about the build or photos quality ) + few shots from the building stage, to show some details you could not see otherwise most likely. The interior Mix of little parts (doors, etc) Few shots taken outside And some shots taken inside Two shots taken with not so good light conditions, was trying to use desk lamp but it created somehow special effects.. Thanks all for looking and hope you could see at least something on the photos, i should realy think about geting some better photo equipment.. All tips are welcome guys
