Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito FB Mk.VI as No.45 Squadron; 15 January 1945


Recommended Posts

Hello all;

 

This one was a challenge all the way through with paint that wouldn't cure, clear coat that wouldn't cure, bone-headed operator errors, more bone-headed operator errors, and some bad luck (more operator error).  That having been said, I'm pleased to have a differently painted Mossie on the shelf that looks reasonable if not viewed not too closely.

Critique welcome.  

 

Cheers;

Mark.

She looks very good. Some builds just don't go well, even starting with a good kit. Obviously your corrective actions amidst the trials worked. You have a model you can be very pleased with.

A beautiful and convincing Mossie!

 

And you background history at http://making-history.com.au/ is a fascinating story as well as a very useful modelling lesson.

 

Top marks for both!

 

Kind regards,
