Well its been a while since I posted a WIP so I grabbed a few snaps of the current build. A Tamiya Mosquito FB VI.
As I already have a VI in Camo, I went for the 143 sqdr, bird NE*D One of the Banff mossies.
I will spare the blow by blow and just post the interesting bits....
Here are a few of the cockpit before the fuselage was buttoned up.

The next photos will be in basic paint as I forgot to take any of it in primer....
A question; I have read that the Banff's had Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces. I also have read that the had Extra Dark Sea Grey!!! I believe that the Extra Dark came at a later point but have not been able to find when. Can any one shed a bit of light on that??
