Hi Leslie & welcome to this forum which is as good as you can possibly get.

Just takes me back before Christmas & finishing my Revell 1/48 Mosquito. Going to take some pictures at the weekend as of yet not posted any at all.

Look forward to seeing some more pictures of yours. I wished I had gone for the Tamiya. The Revell was very difficult with poor joins on the fuselage & nacelles.

Not bad at all - though the pilot looks a bit like he's wearing lipstick. Still, who am I to judge...

[Guest]

Yes you are right Brickie, does look like he is wearing lipstick..Have but that right. good job he was only place in and not stuck down.I think he looks a bit better now!!!.

Thanks to all for your encouragement.I was reading on the forum about the superglue and baking powder so thought I would try it.Seems good will post a pic when I have sanded it down properly.

The Mossie is such a beautiful bird and you are certainly doing her justice...

[Guest]

Looking good so far mate. I did the same model on my return to the hobby. Nowhere near as good as your so far. Keep at it.

Cheers
