Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito Mk IV

[Builder]

Hi all this is my completed Tamiya 1/72 Mosquito Mk IV.



Build Summary

I built this kit completely OOB. I did suffer two major issues, the first being that the decals for the squadron markings were ruined, so I left them off all together and the second being the canopy was slightly damaged with Lacquer Thinner, however I have since minimized this, but it is still slightly visible. Apart from this I thoroughly enjoyed the build. As always I am never concerned with historical accuracy, so not bothered about it whatsoever. I am concerned with the build finish and paint job, which I feel I am still getting getter at.

Fantastic work Bob and a nice little base for it too.

Nice job. I've always had a soft spot for the Mosquito.

I love the Mosquito too Bob, and your rendition is very well done indeed. Glad you were able to battle the canopy issue.

Really nice work there. Very nice clean lines and a good overall finish. I've never been disappointed with Tamiya kits, they do an excellent F4u Corsair in 1:72 if you dont have one then i would recommend it
