Tomcat's 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito B Mk. IV

Post by Tomcat64 »

Here's the reveal for my 1/72 Tamiya B Mk. IV - really nice build without too many surprises except where I modified it to model it in flight. The crew are from a Revell box since the original kit didn't come with crew or a wheels up option. The build thread is here if you'd like to take a look.

I have a Baldrick-style cunning plan to incorporate this into a dio next year but that's all for now - thanks for looking :cheers2:
Cheers, Neil
