  Impressed by the quality of Airfix's recent kits, they put some real effort in, and seem to make great quality kits at pretty good prices.

  This model, brings back fond memories of my childhood. In 1987, I buy an Airfix Mosquito FB -VI in a supermarket, in Downtown of Guatemala City, and I painting it ¡with oil paints! But the results was great. Your Airfix Mosquito Dear Plasmo, it's a little miracle. It's wonderful, and the level of realism it's awesome. Congratulations for you and all my respect for your incredible modelling skills. ¡Máster Modeller Plasmo! ¡I Salute You! Greetings for you from Guatemala, The Land of Quetzal Bird, Símbol of Freedom.

  This was good work, David. &nbsp;I have seen so many Mosquitos that have the same problem: Many have poorly fitting canopies that float on the fuselage with large gaps.

  You may wish to try Silly Putty for camo masking.

  Your attention to detail, even at this small scale is amazing, David. These &quot;Wooden wonders&quot; were built near my home, and all the woodworkers from the surrounding areas were sent to the factory to make their parts. Excellent job, again, sir.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRsc73Cvsj4&amp;t=447">7:27</a> On the bomb bay Airfix got this right... AND wrong! They used accurate 3D scans of a real Mosquito in a museum as the basis for the design, however it was a post-war example which had that area cut down so it could carry a tow as they used them to tow-targets for anti-aircraft training. So it&apos;s accurate for that specific mark (TT.35) but for the B.XVI it is incorrect and you fixed it perfectly. I believe Airfix have fixed this in their newer PR.XVI boxing.

  This has to be the closest you have come to &quot;out of the box&quot; build you&apos;ve done in a long time!
