1/32 Tamiya Mosquito FB MK. VI 605 Squadron "Wag's War Wagon" (Finished)

What a fantastic choice, and you excelled in build and finish as always. I enjoyed the 1/48 version, will look forward to the 32nd variant one day. Good to see you back!

Very nicely done.

Dang, you've knocked another one out of the park.

I've long considered getting this kit.  Love the Tamiya 32nd scale kits.  But with the Airfix 24th scale Mossie hanging on a wall above a Stan Stokes print that I've had for many years of a Mosquito attack against Norwegian fjords, I honestly don't have room for another beast build.  (But space doesn't always stop me from adding to my stash ...)

Very nice job.  That IP looks amazing.  I've yet to do a Mosquito but have always liked the looks of the plane.

Great cockpit detailing. The rest looks great also. Great history background also. I love it.

Hi, Joe -

Well shucky darn, ya' done it again. I turned on my 'puter, made a cup of tea and sat down to look at some good models, then I see your Mossie. What a tribute to a fine old war horse, just superb model crafting all around.

Don't you ever get tired of being so dang good???

Thanks for such an enjoyable post and excellent photos.

Thanks bud.  I don't have room for this turkey either.  It will be on it's way to Florida shortly.

Thanks!  Honestly I've never been crazy about it's looks, but the more I read about it the more it intrigued me.  Especially the fact that it was mostly wooden.

A stunning build lawdog!  The Mossie has always benn a favorite of mine and you did a fantastic job with this kit.  Your weathering is so realistic.  I can't understand why we don't see more of these on contest tables.  I have a couple of the old Revell 1/32 kits and a couple of the Airfix 1/24 in the stash but I've never run across one of these big Tamiya kits.

Such a superb build!  It's hard to imagine the size of the thing.  Do you have a picture of the 1/32nd Mossie next to a 1/48th scale aircraft?  It must be huge!

Wow. Just...wow.

Oh Boy!!!

       Another awesome build from Your Bench! And My all time favorite large model! The Mosquito!! The largest one I have ever built is Revell's old offering over forty years ago. You have done a stunning job on those instruments ! I could've sworn you ripped them out of the real plane! Overall, a Plus 100 score for you!!

Thanks Gary.  Quite big, a tad over 17 inches in wingspan.  Unfortunately I don't have a 1/48 one to compare it to.
