Operation Jericho Completed 6/3/17 Tamiya 1/32 DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI

That is the most intricate tire/wheel assembly I've EVER seen! That is some serious detail!!

Hi,

Your build is looking great.  I know that in the past I have bought some models just to get a rough idea of how the full scale "prototype" actually looked or was configured, but the level of detail in this model is astounding and really helps show so much of the details of how the plane was actually laid out, that I am astounded.

Can't wait to see your finished build.

I too have never seen anything nor built anything this complex as this before.  I noticed that every section of the assembly build is a kit in of itself. That's what makes this build difficult yet very fun to do.  The next step is to glue the nacelles to the wings then the wings to the fuselage but it's not that simple as there's a lot of detail factors that go into it.  I'll keep everyone up to date in detail.

Thanks for stopping by!

P.S. I have the Tamiya 1/48 Hien saved for me on eBay.  Thank you for the tip!

Happy anniversary. We have our 23rd coming up in a couple weeks. I need to get one of these kits, it looks like a winner! I'm in the final steps of my ME 410 for the multi-engine build. Mike.

 

Yes, this is a great kit to obtain and build.  It's Tamiya's flagship kit.  Please posts your builds as I'm interested in seeing them as well as the many members here.  Thank's for stopping by!

Before Mrs. Toshi and I went to a Steakhouse, she asked if we could go to Hobby Lobby.  I thought we were going for some arts and crafts for her.

Before I know it.  She's at the register paying for what you see below.  I was blown away with my twenty fifth anniversary gift.  

Of course I took it home and took it apart to see it's innards.  LOL!  I was excited!  I did get Mrs. Toshi a Michael Kors bag as a gift which she is using while I write this.  

Here is my brand new Iwata Eclipse.

Toshi,

First - Happy Anniversary! (My two marriages lasted 3.5 and 8 years respectively. I must be hard to live with ).

Second, You're doing me no favors by posting this WIP. I have sworn to never get a 1/32 or larger aircraft kit since I neither have the room to display it nor, do I believe, the patience to build it. Your method of showing the instructions along with your progress is mesmerizing and is tugging at me to find a 1/32 kit. Shame on you .

Third, your build is progressing so well and your demostrated skills are so apparent that I must simply thank you for all the enjoyment I reap from watching your progress.

This kit is amazing, and you are doing a fantastic job on it!  Every part of this kit is surprisingly detailed.  Congrats on the anniversary.  My wife and I will be married 24 years next week.  She is a peach, and so, apparently, is Mrs. Toshi.

Never seen anything like it, where even the tire tread is more than half a dozen pieces.

Second, I only posts my WIP for the benift of both of Forum members and myself as we can only both learn from each other.  

Third and foremost, I've been having the best time of my life!  The meaning of life is very simple, to live it.  And everyone here has showed me how to and I thank you for that!
