mike romeo Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi folks, Just finished* the Airfix 1/48th DH Mosquito FB VI as a 235 Sqn Coastal Command machine, LR437 'T', based at Portreath in June '44. The ol' Airfix kit is not state of the art anymore but by jingo, it's a fun build with sufficient detail for me and good fit**. I was particularly happy with the way the cockpit scrubbed up. It was built for a 'Classic Airfix' GB on another forum and, as I've had this kit in the stash since the late '80s, I thought it was high time I built it. I used it to try out some weathering techniques I hadn't tried before on a 1/48th aircraft (I usually build in the gentleman's scale), and I think it turned out quite nicely. Hope you like it. regards, Martin * OK, so I lost the tailwheel and am awaiting the arrival of a replacement c/o Airfix spares department **Apart from the fit of the wings to the fuselage; that was appalling! They're none too robustly joined at all. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
