    My 1st 1/32 build...

    This is my 1st 1/32 build. The revell Mosquito. It is brush painted with revell paints. I bought some decal fix from John and it made the job of putting them on so much easier. Now it's finished I haven't got a clue where I can display it. Might have to stick to building the smaller scales.Click image for larger version

              Nice Job Paul. You did pick a big one to start the 1/32 scale in though....
              They creep up on you from the shelves. I built ONE 1/32 scale a few years back, I prefer 1/48. Large enough to work on, small enough to show....
              I now have three 1/32 scales built and about six in the stash.....You have been warned. LOL

              Unfortunately I rather like a mossie, so one day one of those is going to attack me when it sees me.... :-/

                You certainly picked a biggie for your first 1/32 and you did an excellent job with a old tool kit.

                My suggestion with large scale kits when you have limited space is to be selective and go for quality, spend a bit more on the model, take your time and just enjoy the experience. Quality not quantity.

                Remember a 1/32 Spitfire takes up less space than a 1/72 Lancaster (Spit wingspan 14’’ Lanc 17’’)

                My recommendation for your next 1/32 (I know you want to...) is the Tamiya Corsair , not too big but it represents the peak of model engineering and is a real treat to build.

                  Great result Paul. Very good paint work, must have taken ages with the brushes.

                    Took a while especially with having to give it 2or 3 coats to get good coverage.

                      Nice job Paul, and what a monster. I can't see a brush stroke anywhere.
