Mosquito FB MkVI - Tamiya 1/48.

[Guest]

I made this kit to be given to my father. He's the one who started me modelling many moons ago, and the Mossie is his favourite aircraft.

A nice detailed interior with home made lead wire seat belts.

I decided that I wouldn't paint iot the 'normal' cammo pattern, and upted for the Extra dark sea grey to side with Sky underneath.

I designed the canopy masks using Adobe Illustrator and cut them out on a cutter/plotter using masking film.

Thanks for looking.

To my not so newbie eyes this is impressive, there are some outstanding talented modelers on this site and Graham is one of them. Beautiful build, so lifelike, modelling at its very best.

Absolutely beautiful and nice to see a slightly different colour scheme. I really like weathering when it isn't used to make it look 'dirty' but is used for no other reason than to make it look 'real'. Your superb finishes and techniques do just that.

[Guest]

Excellent model! Your skills with the washes are magnificent

[Guest]

Top notch Mossie,I'm sure your Dad is gonna have a mile wide smile when he sees it! Very nicely done Sir!

[Guest]

You have certainly done justice to a classic aircraft, well done. Cheers Derek
