de Havilland DH.98 Mosquito B.IV (Srs.II)

DZ548, GB-D, 'Knave of Diamonds'

105 Squadron, Royal Air Force, Marham, June 1943

 

1/144 Mark 1 Models

 

This was my entry for the Bank Holiday weekend Blitzbuild, which didn't make Mondays midnight deadline. I have continued working on it over the last few days and completed it earlier today. It has been brush painted with Revell and Humbrol acrylics, the tail mounted pitot was made from Albion Alloys tube and rod, and the aerial was added with Uschi's Superfine rigging thread.

Turned out superb,a little beauty!

 

Thanks for your comments guys. It is a lovely little kit with scope for further detailing, and apart from the additions mentioned above, this one was built out of the box. I will definitely build another and look to detailing the cockpit a bit more, adding some of missing boxes/panels, and detailing the seats with straps would be a good start.
