Monogram 1/48 Mosquito mk2

SSome of the detail is recessed.Not bad for a 1966 moulding!.

That's great for that time mate and I've just bought the revell rebox of the monogram mk4 off ebay

It's quite basic and the cockpit isn't very accurate.But I made one around 20years ago and can say it builds into a nice model.

Thanks for the heads up dave , tbh the office isn't a priority for me as it's all covered up , it will be good to compare this to the tamiya mk4 and see the difference in the tail if there is indeed any

The Airfix and Tamiya kit tails measure about the same.On this one the fin is a couple of mm larger all round.It could be easily corrected with a bit of sanding if your really bothered by it .Im not and am going to leave it as it is.

Haven't done much to this for a few weeks.Ive just glued the wings together and the fighter nose onto the fuselage.

Some great work going on here Dave. Makes me want to start my two.

Slow but good progress Dave.

Can't wait to see more

Now the Airfix Mosquito is finished,I can spend more time on this one.After two rounds of filling and sanding ,the nose to fuselage join is done.As often happens when a dry run shows a good parts fit,they don't fit that well when glued together.So a bit of filler was needed.The wings needed a bit of filler around the engine cowling joins.Then I glued the wings and tailplanes to the fuselage.

Are you sure you've got the same kit Alan?.Revell also do a newer tooled mk4.This is the ancient Monogram kit.

If it's this one you are getting,it's a more recent moulding than the Monogram kit.
