1/48 Tamiya Mosquito FB VI

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

 

Here is my Tamiya Mosquito FB VI.  It represents an a/c of RAF Coastal Command of No 236 Squadron in 1944.  The D-Day stripes were airbrushed and weathering was done with oil wash, lightened overspray and pastels.  The seats and exhaust stacks are from Ultracast.  The canopy framing was tricky on this model.  I mostly used thin strips of decal, airbrushed Dark Sea Grey and cut to shape with an X-acto blade.  Interior framing was done the same way on the inside of the canopy with strips painted RAF Interior Green.

The decals are from the kit and Tally Ho with the code put together number by number.  Altogether a fun kit that goes together perfectly.
