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

To my fellow forum members,

My dream model kit has now arrived.  Here is the first photo.  More to follow!  Thank you all for your support and read and replies.

Oh heck yeah! 

Take your time with this one, Toshi. You've been waiting and dreaming of this for a long time. Enjoy yourself to the fullest!!  :D

Here is the inside of the box.  I will give a detailed breakdown of everything.

OOB Photo Etch

There are magnets, screws, screw driver, rubber spacers, and steel pins in this bag of which I won't open until needed.

As I assumed, the cowling for the Merlin engines are frosted, hence I will delete both cowlings and build the Mosquito as such.  This will mirror my last build, Trumpeter 1/32 P-38 Lightning.

Misc. clear parts and canopy.  This kit comes with masking for the canopy albeit, one must cut out the pieces of which are outlined.  For a kit that costs this much, I would think there would be something similar to an Eduard type mask.

Geez Toshi !
 I guess you are lucky your head was hard enough to keep you alive .

 Been there , done that Years ago . I got so tired of them asking me who the President or Governor was .

 You WILL recover , Why ? Well because you are TOSHI .Toshi don't give in or up right ? You will recover too , because all of us need to learn from you . So There !  T.B.

I show them my builds on my iPhone and the reply I get is; "You made that"!  LOL!

I get my inspirations from you and forum members throughout.  You guys and gals are the best people on the planet!  You're always supporting me.  Thank you!

This is the set for the bottom of the Merlin's cowling.  There is also a clear albeit a frosted set as well.  I will not photograph the clear/frosted set as it is redundant.

Uh Oh!  A correction is needed.  This is interesting.

my Ki-61 came with a frosted fuselage half that I'm not using. And those uncut masks.... Nice, but c'mon. They couldn't pre-cut those? Everyone else does.

At least the parts fit is phenominal! Really can NOT complain!  :)

What's different??  ':/

Hi,

The only thing that I see is that it appears that the color changed from X-8 to XF-3.

I was just at the bookstore last Sat. and I was looking at a Airfix magazine/book devoted just to this kit. It was in the magazine rack. Go get it! :)  

No it was the Airfix kit! Woops

This set of sprue contains the fueselage.  I freaked out when I saw there were no lines.  I thought I have to scribe them in.  I realized that this thing was made out of wood.  So I researched this kit and found out this is how it's supposed to be via several reviewers.
