Hi all:

I´m working in another project. This one is a Mosquito B Mk IV from Tamiya in 1/72.
I decided to build the Oboe Marker DK333/HS-F of Nº 109 Sqn - 8 Group (PFF) using the kit decals.
As all the Tamiya Mossie´s this one goe very easy and it´s a joy to build.
Paint work is finished, I used Model Master Enamels, here are some pics:

Nice "Skeeter"

How many mosquitos have you built this year? Hope you save at least one for the Twin Spinner Campaign.

Hy Guys:

Thanks all for the kind words.

Dan: I just follow the instructions and use all the pieces of the kit. To find pics of the Oboe eq. I´ll search in the sam Publications Mosquito Data file. I´ll see what I find.

Carl:
This year I finished three Mossies on 1/72 and have on the bench one B Mk IV in1/48 and one FB Mk XVIII in 1/72. The ones on the bench will wait some time because now I´m with the Spitfire fever that is a recurrent disease that I suffer. Now finishing ICM Mk IXc (early) = P. Colsterman AC - 341 Sqn, and in the middle of a Mk Vb (Tamiya) and starting with a Mk Vc (Airfix), all in 1/48.
I think that for the Twin Spinner Campaign I´ll go with the B Mk IV in 1/48.


See you fellows.

In the real world they are Mossies. In Southern Indiana, they are skeeters.
