    Allen's 1/48 Revell Mosquito B Mk. IV

    Afternoon all you fine folks,

    This will be my entry into Ian's GB. A big thanks to him for setting it up and I do hope to finish this time. 1/48 is kinda small for me and the only reason for not finishing it will be blindness.........I also have an evil plan to display it in a dio when it's finished...........

    The mandatory stuff,

    I will be using the kit decals for the build. I am also still trying to find masks for the canopy and glass areas. No other AM stuff will be added (famous last words)...........The Sprues,

    The kit is from 2008 and doesn't look to hard, but does have a lot of tiny parts. I will be using this paint set for the camo and such,

      Thanks Ian, I am sure I will have fun, but my GB completion rate still stands at 5%........Maybe I can raise it a few points with the Mossie......

                Don't waste valuable bench time on unimportant things like eating, sleeping, going to the loo etc. Then you'll finish easily :rolling:

                          Jealous of your cockpit detail - it's much better than the 1/32 Revell kit.

                            Sorry to hear that Pete, but I know you will do a fantastic job building yours. One just has to look at your duo build to see your talents....
