    Tamiya 1/48 Mosqito FBIV 110 Squadron RAF, PTO 1944

    This build was at the request of a friend whose father flew it during the war.

    A nice little kit. These aircraft were painted silver in theatre and I have tried to a moderately weathered finish. There were no photos of this aircraft and nly a few of the squadron. I had to use various sources and some educated guesswork...

                      That is looking very nice indeed. You should be very pleased with your efforts, as should your friend!
