Mossie Progress
Cockpit finished with Eduard PE. Colors used, MrColor H58, Tamiya X-18, XF-16, X-10, XF-49, X-7, X-8, X-14.
Bomb bay finished. Red (XF-7) color was sprayed on black (XF-1) and dry brushed with alu (XF-16) for the tank. Silver is X-11.
After masking the cockpit, I sprayed MrColor H58 as a first layer to get the inside color of the canopy.
Landing gear is Mr.Metal Color Aluminium.
I used Mr.MetalColor 214 Dark Iron for the guns.
Colors used: XF-80 for the underside and XF-81 and XF-82 for the camoflage.
Finished! I opted to go for the rockets instead of the wing mounted bombs as I think it looks cooler that way 😉.
Entry into the cockpit.
Open bomb bay.
Really nice detail in the wheel bays.
THe landing lights were really nice in this kit.
Some extra Eduard PE detail on the inside of the door.
The mud guard is Eduard PE.
The forward gun bay can be opened. Some extra Eduard PE in there.

I've started building the Tamiya 1:48 Mosquito. I'm using the Eduard photo etch kit for this build.
Cockpit and bomb bay are finished. 🙂

Thanks Roland!
Yes, that is true. I watched a lot of youtube-videos before I started 🙂.
And I've been kind of obsessed since I started 😉, built 15 kits in 2017.

The fuselage and wings have all been put together and married😉. I also finished the painting of most of the smaller parts. Next is filling and sanding.

Thank you Clifford! 🙂
The base camouflage is now finished. There are some mistakes I will have to fix, then it will be time for a clear coat and decals.

Decals are done!
Used Tamiya's Mark fit strong again and it works really well with Tamiya decals.
Next is weathering and assembly.

The Mosquito is finished! 🙂
Another one of those Tamiya models that was just a breeze to build. The Eduard pack added some extra detail that makes it even better.
I held back on the weathering a bit on this plane as I wanted it to look a little more pristine.

Thank you David! 🙂
My work is really stressful right now, so I need something to relax with when I get home and building models is just perfect for that, hence the pace 🙂.
