Hello Patrice,

 

Building a Tamiya model is child's play for you!    😉
Does this Scotch adhesive tape leave marks?
This tape certainly makes it easier to tighten the wing-fuselage joint.

 

Regards,

Eric-Snafu35

 

Good evening Eirc 

Yes after the Special Hobby Mosquito NF XXX I needed something easy to build ...

I did a few test before finding an adhesive tape that doesn't leave marks ..

Yes the wing fuselage joint is stronger ..

Best regards 

Patrice

Am I correct in thinking you are now ready to apply the decals on this one?

The light and subtle touches of weathering have added a lot of life to this one. Nicely done.

Excellent work, Patrice, great build and finish! I love the contrast of the camouflaged cowling against the NMF of the rest of the airframe, plus the rudder stripes. Superb!

 

Cheers,

Mark
