Mozzy built a Mozzy


Recommended Posts

This is Tamiya’s 1/48 Mosquito Mk VI in 82sqn markings. Extras for this build were Eduard’s canopy mask set and zoom interior etch along with Master gun barrels and EagleCal decals. This is the third Mosquito I’ve built but it’s the first one that I’ve been pleased with.

Excellent job,.... your Mossie looks superb in SEAC silver.

 

Can I just say,..... 82 Sqn had a small anti glare panel in front of the pilots position,.... and many had the serial repeated on the tail fin too, plus coloured spinners,....... some say they were red, others that they were red or blue depending on the flight they belonged to,.... you can easily add the anti glare panel and the spinners if you wish,...just to finish your wonderful model off,..... here are a few ref pictures;

Thanks Tony. When I next have the black paint out, I’ll sort out the anti-glare panel although I think I’ll leave the spinners. I quite like it with the metal spinners 👍.

 

Sean.

Ps, very nice Mosquito.
