Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito TR33

[Ian M]

Well the sun sort of came out and I got a few photos taken of the finished project.

Not to shabby. I did note that one of my framed from the canopy has fallen off. I will have to fix that later.

Hope you like and comments welcome.

said window frames are home made decal film and look OK I think.

paints are Xtracrylix. Serials and codes home printed.

You have done a great job on this mate. It is a good kit but you have taken it to a whole new level. Congrats on an awesome build.

You have done an excellent work Ian.

The canopy looks just right.

Cheers. Polux

thats very nice

always think it adds something to see wings folded on an aircraft

Good one, I like the exhaust 'muck', something I often have a bit of bother with. Even with an AB.

 

[tecdes]

Very nice & a very interesting aircraft. Like that Ian.

Nice build Ian.Never seen a Mossie with the wings folded before.

Ian that is a stunner for sure! Really like seeing a version of the Mossie not often modelled,and yours came out sweet. Great looking paint and weathering,very nicely done Sir a 5 star build in my book!!!

Quite like this Ian. Unusual looking with folded wings.

I take it fitting the canopy gave you some grief? The front edge in particular looks like it was mismoulded to begin with.

 

[Ian M]

Bugger you noticed Colin.. lol

The canopy is a vacformed job and even though it is cut exact to the line it still was a bit naff at the front. Sanded it as much as i dared.... Maybe I could of filled it with a bit of gator and gotten away with it...
