Mosquito FB Mk VI - 1/48 - Tamiya

I built this Moosie in Jan - Feb 2006. It´s a OOB build, no aftermarket set was used, the only replacement was the canopy because I brooke the original, I used one from Falcon.
The kit is Tamiya in 1/48 scale. It was a fantastic & very enjoyable project. Fit of all parts was perfect, I didn´t find troubles and practically no putty was used (just a little in the wing to fuselage join). The level of detail is very good. The cockpit comes with all the interior details, I just added the seat belts made of lead foil.
To paint this model I used Model Master Enamels & the flat overall coat is Model Master Acrylic. Decals are from the kit.

I higly recommend this kit to everyone, specially for those who loves the Moosie.
The aircraft is from 143 Sqn - Banff Strike Wing - 1945

Great work, Carlos! I also love the Mossie. I am looking for a decal sheet - Mosquito Nose Art, Part 1 (Cutting Edge Decal 48-122)
Do you have any idea where I might purchase it?
Thanks for any help!
Take care,

Excellent work. I'm just starting to build models again and love WWII aircraft. Faves are the Mosquito, Hurricane and FW190.
