Return to Index   Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito FB.VI finished (dial-up warning: image heavy!) February 23 2009 at 9:43 PM   (Login threedingers) HyperScale Forums from IP address 99.228.133.42 I spent the weekend attaching the fiddly bits and touching up any booboos I could find to get it ready for a local show yesterday. Some of the extras I added include: - Ultracast seats, tail wheel, crew door and exhaust shrouds - Thinned and detailed the mudguards, added brake lines, detailed the landing gear legs (the funky rod contraptions right by the tires) - Squadron vac canopy with interior framing fashioned from brass rod - A handful of Eduard bits including the instrument panel, carburetor screens and windshield wipers The markings are for a 418 (RCAF) squadron machine in the summer of 1944. Paints are primarily Tamiya (Gunze for the Dark Green). Comments, questions and criticism welcome!

To post an image of your models, you will first need to find somewhere to host your photos on the Internet. Your ISP will often give you a limited amount of free web storage, and other online photo storage is also available.

To post a link or an image, simply type in the URL (web address) of the destination page or image. The URL will appear as a link (for an HTML link) or an image (if you link direct to a .jpg file) when posted. You can use the Preview facility to see how your message looks before posting to Plastic Pix.

Please try to keep image sizes to 800 pixels wide or less, as larger sizes will be too big to fit on many computer screens. Also, file sizes should be kept to around 100kb or less, otherwise download may be very slow.
