My first Build a Tamiya Mosquito 1\48

[Guest]

A quick update on my Mossie.You can see from the photo's that I have gone for 143 Squadron,Hope I can do them Justis!!! All together and painted now I was wondering if I should try a bit of weathering round the exhausts.Don't know how to go about it and the colors, so will have to do a bit of reading on this forum.Any advice would be most great-full.

If you are a brush painter, the best way you can do the staining for the exhaust is probably with pastels. Grate them up on a piece of rough sandpaper so you get a powder. I would go for a blackish brown. paint the powder on dry with a soft brush, and concentrate the pigment in the centre. A little light grey in the centre if you want the full high lead fuel effect...

Hope that some help. Also try doing a forum search for Mosquito or Mossy/Mossie. It should turn up some of the thread here with Mossies, There are a few.. :-)

Looking good, with abit of weathering that'll be spot on.

A few more Pic's I think the Mossie is just about ready for a coat of matte varnish to finish off.Or does anyone think I could do a bit more to Mossie!!!.Has I have said this is my first build so will try any suggestions.Let me know.Always willing to learn.

Les I wish could have done half as well on my first build. Well done mate.

Adding things. The Mosquito I finished recently had radio rigging but not sure if this applies to all Mosquitos.
