Mosquito Mk VI

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

This is a model that is some time on the bench. The Mosquito Mk VI of the Tamiya 1/48 scale.

The version chosen will be the FB. Mk. VI of 487 Squadron.

Started by bombs bay.

I took and painted small deposits that go in landing gear.

That’s a nice kit - easy build. I did the night fighter version. The only trouble I had was getting the decal of the interior canopy frame to stick. I had to use a bit of future to “glue” it down. Also, maybe pick up some Eduard canopy masks - I used them for this kit and they fit great.

I’ve got this kit in the stash. I’ll likely never build it because it isn’t really in my range of subject taste (was given to me). However, seeing this one come together may inspire me.

I also have this kit in my stash and will be watching.

got two hiding somewhere. these build threads give me lots of inspiration.

Very good job ! Your painting is looking good.

I love the Mosquito. I built this kit a couple of yeras ago, and I can say it´s a fantastic kit, accurate and with very fine detail.

Hrere I leave you a link to a pic of my Coastal Command Tamiya Mosie:

Nice work on the Mossie! The undercarriage units are quite detailed. [Y]

Doesn’t just about every A/C builder have a Mossie in the stash or shelf? Looking great, will also keep tabs on this build.

26carlos, very nice job on yours.

I built this kit not too long ago. It’s a fairly easy build, but be wary of the decals - they’re very thick. I had 3 coats of Future on mine, and I still got silvering.

The biggest shame is that all of the beautiful detail that goes into the bomb bay and the landing gear, gets hidden inside the body.

Not bad…your sub-assemblies could do for a little dry-brushing and filtering…

I always love the Mossie, strangely enough I do not have one in the stash. But seeing these pics make want to have one.

More advances in interiors.

The dashboard instruments, the joystick.

Seats and seat belts.

All glued. Missing transmitter and the receiver.

Excellent work! That’s really looking fine. Beautiful details, great paint work. Now, I want one but all I’ve got is the Monogram offering…
