    I have a 1/48th scale Tamiya Mosquito NF Mk.XIII /XVII in the "Stash" that I have been meaning to build for quite some time - Seems like a good incentive to get this one on the go.

    If all goes well, it should look something like this attached reference photo when I am done.

    Thanks John & Spiros, Looking forward to an easier time with this 1/48th Tamiya kit build - I might just finish it this summer if all goes well 😉

    Got a start on the RCAF Mosquito. Certainly a nice 1/48th Tamiya kit to make the build go smoothly. Will build this pretty much Out-of-Box with no add-ons (Except for the modified decals for the aircraft I want to depict) - Hope you all had a good weekend!

    The Tamiya kit will turn into a great model, @flypastrush. The Mosquito has been one of my most favorite models since I first saw the movie "633 Squadron". Looking forward to your build.

    Thanks George,

    This Tamiya kit (like many of their others) is a real gem to build. Al I got to do now is not to mess up on any of the build stages 😉

    Finally got some bench time to give this RCAF Mosquito a bit of attention. Got to love most of the Tamiya 1-48th scale aircraft products for their excellent engineering and fit. Working my way through the main assemblies here

    Thanks Aldo, Progress has been slow lately due to other (non-model making) projects - Cheers
