Andrews’ 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito XIII ‘Lonesome Polecat’ (papa 695’s 2022 Mossie GB)

[adt70hk]

Hi all

So as some of you know this was completed a few days before the deadline but I’ve not had a chance to take the final pictures until now.

All-in-all a very enjoyable build, although not without a few hiccups along the way.

It also ticks off a number of boxes; my first ever Mossie and in fact my first twin-engined RAF plane since coming back to the hobby. Also another model for my ‘Hunters and the Hunted’ collection.

The build can be found here https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...mk-xiii.40006/

The full background on the squadron (409 RCAF) and the plane will be appearing in my ‘Hunters and the Hunted’ collection here soon https://www.scale-models.co.uk/threa...-builds.39972/.

Apologies for the lighting but mother nature was not playing ball today. The full range of shots will appear in the H&H thread above.

I hadn't realised that the photos were so dark.... didn't look that bad on laptop. I'll make sure I take some better pics for the 'Hunters and the Hunted' thread.

No need to apologise. You have always been very supportive and I know how hard it is to keep up with everything on here.

And I am pretty proud of it!
