    @flypastrush - there's an easy way to deal with the decal silvering on the insignig - slice the decal with a new #11 blade, then flood with solvent. It will get rid of the air bubbles under the decal and settle down so you don't see any sign of the slicing.

    Yes Aldo keeping all those spare decals that I didn't use on projects does help out at times

    A little bit more work done on the Mosquito XIII over the weekend. Getting some panel line wash on and then off again to weather it up somewhat- Hope you all had a good weekend

    Thanks Spiros and John - just a couple of touch-ups here and I will be giving it the final matte clear coat

    Pretty much at the finish line with this RCAF Mosquito build… added washes and weathering and then got the dull coat sprayed. Now just adding the final fragile pieces into the mix

    Thanks John, The Tamiya kit is a joy to build and certainly helped me get it right along the way. Best of luck with your Mosquito build @johnb and looking forward to seeing its debut at this site - Cheers

    Thanks Spiros, I am happy with the way that kit turned out and have another Tamiya Mosquito (slightly different version) in the stash which I am now looking forward to building as well. - Cheers
