1/72 Mosquito FB.5

--------------------

 

This is my first completed kit of 2007.  The second one is a Nissan Skyline while the third has just been submitted too, a 1/72 Hasegawa F-16CJ.

Nice details, horrid fit.  The silver finish maginified all the imperfections and that birdcage canopy is just a bloody major hassle.

Rushing through this job also meant that my decals are badly wrinkled on the fuselage, especially the one on the right side.

All in all, a pretty enjoyable build for a first prop.  I'm now kindda in love with SOME props already and am making plans to get me a Tamiya Mustang (RAF only), some Spitfires & more Mosquitos!
