That's a good looking plane, for sure !

The time spent on masking the camo definetly paid off!

                                             EXELLENT !!

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Someday, someday, I want to be at your skill level.  I’m just not there yet and I have to be patient.  Luckily I have your WIP‘s to learn from.  Your completed Mosquito looks a lot larger than it is.  

Matter of fact, you‘re skill set is capable of making this Mosquito look like you built Tamiya’s 1/32 Mosquito kit instead.  That’s how fantastic you are!  Of the three builds, this build is my favorite.  Which one was yours?  

On that note will you ever do a WIP of the Tamiya 1/32 Mosquito?  Or do I have a feeling you have already acquired that kit in your stash?  lol!

Thanks Toshi,

I'd have to say the Tamiya Jug is my favorite.  Reference the 1/32 Mossie, the only way I would do that kit is if it was on commission.  Truthfully, the Mossie is not really one of my favorite subjects.  I don't hate it, but there's lots of stuff I'd rather build. 

On a side note, I did just order the new 1/48 Airfix P-51.  I can't wait for that to get here from overseas.

So very cool! You did a great job handling the black on the underside. Not an easy color to pull off.
