That looks awesome Toshi. BTW: can you please educate me on how the group build icons work? Thanks

Nice job free-handing that camo.  Following this build has had one negative effect on me, in that I seriously want to acquire this kit.  This despite the fact that I have already built Airfix's huge 1/24 Mossie and I still have Tamiya's and Monogram's 1/48 kits in the stash. And I have no job at the moment.

Still, I'm waiting for Tamiya to release this as a Mk IV glass-nose bomber version.

Yes, I see where you're coming from, this kit is pricey.  There are the other 1/32 kits that are half the price of this model.  Corsair, Zero, Spitfire, and the Mustang.  

I did not know you had a monster of an Mossie at 1/24.  Wow!  And you have quite the Mossie collection.  I'm sorry to here that you have no job at the moment, and I hope you find one very soon!

"It gives it a real look as if the actual ground crew did that" I could not agree more, I have always done the camo on my RC planes freehand, it makes it look more realistic to me. Excellent job your doing on this build, as you have on others. Dale

About a dozen pieces just to assemble the propellers!  LOL!

Nice! Yeah that an unusual amount of parts, but this kit just has uber amounts of detail as you have continually shown us.

Looks like Tamiya decided this kit isn't going to need any AM lol.

Do you think Tamiya kind of got a little carried away with the engineering of this kit?

Beautiful paint job on it!

Yes, a very huge amount of parts for every area of this kit.  I was shocked at the number of AM items available for this kit..

I was looking at all that too, you can spend a lot of $$$ on this model with all the after market goodies.  But I wonder, do you really need them?  From what I see, this looks like a very well molded kit.  You did a great job Toshi bringing us along with this big build.
