Tamiya's De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI (1/72) - COMPLETE!

[Hinksy]

Hi guys,

I hope I've done this right.

Here is my entry for the 'Build a Wingy' Challenge. It's Tamiya's De Havilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI.

All out of box - it's my first ever wingy (not counting the horrors I used to slap together when I was a nipper)! I'm usually an AFV man through and through but this really made for a great change of pace and was really enjoyable. Since completing the Mozzie I've purchased a 1/48 Airfix Mk.Ia Supermarine Spitfire. I'm away with work for a couple of months so on my return I can get stuck back into things properly.

Completed build - not bad for a beginner:












Thanks for looking guys - I hope you liked my build!

This is looking so damn nice, Ben! You really do the Mosquiotos terrific design justice!

Cheers Lasse,

I had a lot of fun with that Mozzie - typical Tamiya! Shake and bake!

I've been trying to start the 1/48 Airfix Spit all day today but it's been madness. I've been through the instruction booklet and have changed the Humbrol Tinlet numbers to the correct Tamiya XF numbers and I've also written the correct colour down as I might use Vallejo for a lot of it.

My folks are away all weekend so I'll be able to get stuck in then.

Cheers again pal,

Ben
