Fatboydim Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 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 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Leader Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 The only thing nicer than a well weathered model - is a nice neat finish instead. To be honest, I like both finishes to my models and think that capturing what you have done is equally as difficult to master... Well done Cheers ..Dave. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
