Toshi I always look forward to seeing your new builds.  Your positive attatude and athusisam for the hobbie is great.  Can't wait to see it finished.

Hi Toshi,

I see your having fun with Revell as compared to Trumpeter or Tamiya eh?  I like the old Revell kits although they are full of flash, soft plastic, and usually have some fit problem.  But I think they are worth the price.  I built the 1/32 Corsair and it is a challenge.  The Mosquito has been on my list.  As always, I enjoy your builds.  Cheers, Scott.  

Oh, BTW, it looks like you now have this project AND the Stuka going on at the same time?  Toshi, you are now really in the ranks of a master modeler now that you are working on multiple projects.

To Allan,

Due to it being an older mold, there's not a lot going on with the kit.  Even the cockpit was very simple and clean.  But it looked really great after everything went together.  Thanks for the visit.

Toshi

Man, that was quick!

I dont know why Im even surprised.  :)

Next up!

Engine nacelles, landing gear, and paint.

Toshi

Here's an update,

A little rough in some spots with lots of flash.  Seams, misalignment, and lots of cutting.  I do understand it's an older mold as everything has raised lines.  I did my best.  Overall, I'm very happy and had lots of fun, plus this build taught me a lot!

Oh Wow, as a kid I lived off of W.130th street.  I wonder if that is the same hobby shop I remember so fondly. It was across the street from Sears.

I'm glad you had a great day Toshi. On your next road trip, check out Depot Train and Hobby upon on W.130th in Cleveland (about a mile north of the I-480 exit). I've been going there for years and it's outstanding. I look forward to your Mossie.

Man, I wish we had hobby shops like those.  Here in the Philippines, Republic of, there are only small shops.  Oh well, theres always on line shopping.

 

Looking forward to your build as always, Toshi!

Early 105th Squadron means you get to do the green / brown camo scheme.  Look forward to it!

To GAF,

I would love to see your Mosquito.  If you have the time, post it here.  I can use that as a reference.  I plan on using 105 Squadron RAF Marham, England 1942.

It's so good to hear that your wife really enjoys helping you with your modeling addiction. Mine couldn't care less

 

Toshi

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the Mossie.  I've already done my Monogram 1/48th one, but this kit is far superior.

Do you have a scheme in mind for her yet?

Hi my Friend Toshi,

I am so happy that you are feeling better and got some great Mrs. time.  Its worth every minute of it and no wonder you are feeling so much better.  You got a beautiful woman by your side and surrounded by model airplanes.  As usual, looking forward to seeing these new models evolve into a Toshi masterpiece.

I must check in to FineScale and see how Toshi is progressing with the Mossie, I must check in to FineScale and see how Toshi is progressing with the Mossie, I must......

LOL, if I miss a few days you may have it completed!

Just as a reminder Toshi, I may be the slowest kit builder between the ages of 10 and 73 so to see you build up really good looking models as quickly as you do is astonishing to me. It's also lots of fun to check out your builds since I know that you'll have WIP pictures and I love it when I can see lots of works in progress since I learn a bit from many of them.

Very glad you're feeling well. I hope your health continues to improve.
