Realizing I didn't have an all black Mosquito in the Mosquito collection, I chose to do the old Airfix kit in all its raised rivet and panel line glory. The all black scheme is the first Mosquito I ever remember as a child so I thought the choice of the old Airfix kit appropriate.
An Aires Night Fighter cockpit, bulged tires and my own vac canopy.
My attempt at gray panel lines failed but in the end I got my all black Airfix Mosquito. Only lightly weathered with exhaust streaks as she appeared during testing.
Drilled holes through the wings and used thin steel wire for the various antenna.
Of course there are much better Mossies out there but I wanted the old Airfix. I'll do a Tamiya Tamorrow.
