JohnB Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Finished with this one. A very enjoyable build and I think it goes well in this GB thread. OOB except for the gun mounts in the bomb bay which are Aires. VERY fiddly to assemble that Aires set but, when finished, it adds a lot to the finished model. Painted with Colourcoats and Testor's MM. Alclad dark aluminum for the landing gear. I used decals that came in the kit. They were thin and easy to apply. Much better than some of the Tamiya decals for earlier kits. I hope y'all like the results of my efforts!

Jeff Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 Excellent as usual John. Final results are wonderful. Those kits are great. They go together easily and quickly with little fuss and the end result looks great. Jeff 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Tamiya kits by and large are very good with few, if any, problems. The only complaint I have is they are a bit pricey. However, you get what you pay for! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a easy build I think most any model builder could knock one out in a very reasonable time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted March 22 Share Posted March 22 Very nice Mossie John, I especially like the perfectly blended and matted camo, with the decals fitting in like sprayed on. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Thank you Rob! I'm very pleased that the decals worked out well. The decals in some of the older Tamiya kits were a bit thick, etc. I'm glad Tamiya came up with the new, thin, easy to apply one's. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
