Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito Mk VI

Happy New Year Chaps!

I bought a 1/48 mossie around the same time I did the Airfix 1/72 mossie. Got it with a load of aftermarket bits so needed the right time to get stuck into it. And now is the time! Had a lot of fun building the aires resin engine sets. Was concerned about the cutting of the wings and nacelles to house the new engines but it has worked out well! Progress pics below;

I have this in the stash and now you've made me want to spend more money! Very nice work on the engines.

A cracking start, those engines look the Bee's knees.

That's looking very, very good already... Almost a shame to hide them away.

ATB.

Cracking build Russell. The engines look superb. Looking forward to the progress, of what promises to be, an outstanding Mozzie!
Cheers

Thanks Gents! Don’t worry Andrew, the mossie will be posed in maintenance mode so all panels will be left off and engines left on full display. I also have aftermarket gun bay which will also be open and lots of PE to go in the cockpit. Although that will probably be hidden…

Russell,
The office and engines look great nicely done.

 

[Charlie Delta Foxtrot]

Thanks Chaps. It’s all the little things I notice I could have done better that play on the mind. All good though, try not to repeat next time!

That looks the bees knees!
