Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito

[pitbuilder]

At long last after 6 months or so on and off I finally finished this great kit.



Almost as soon as i started I dropped the part L17 on the floor where the carpet monster grabbed it, it's a large clear part so you would think it would be easy to find but no, I went over every square inch of the floor to no avail so had to scratch build a part which I have never done before so was pleased with the result.




It's a great kit to build, the cockpit take a bit of time and the guns are fiddly and of course there are 2 engines to build










I broke off one of the nose gun barrels late in the build so I replaced all 4 with after market ones. Also as Tamiya's decals are Brad Pitt I used Montex masks for the roundels and letters and wet transfers for the small stuff.






My next project is the Battle of Britain Memorial flight in 1/48 using Tamiya's 1/48 Lancaster so that will take a while.

Thanks guys, I have just started a 1/48 Airfix Hurricane, shame Tamiya doesn't make one in 48 or what would be really good one in 1/32 Scale to go with the spit.
