Peterpools Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 (edited) I've built a lot of Tamiya 32nd scale kits over the years but without question, the Tamiya 32nd scale Mosquito is my all time favorite. The Mossie was built 100% Out of the Box and is the center piece of my Mini Museum Display case.. Peter Edited July 29, 2018 by Peterpools Quote Link to post Share on other sites
11bee Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 What a great job. Immaculate paint scheme! Been thinking hard about going for the Tamiya Mossie. My favorite scheme is the maritime version seen on Strike Wing Mosquitoes. Only issue is that these aircraft had rockets and Tamiya didn’t include them. Oh well....

Peterpools Posted July 29, 2018 Author Share Posted July 29, 2018 11beeVery much appreciated Go for it ... it's an incredible kit and I'm sure the Am rockets are available. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Beautiful work Peter. It’s giving me inspiration for my winter build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainObvious Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 What a beautiful build Peter! Absolutely flawless execution! There is just so much detail. It most certainly deserves to be your center piece. I hate to use so many exclamations but just, wow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bravosierra001 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 That looks awesome peter!!! you should be very proud of it!! Brandon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
polybebber Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Superb modelling, absolutely top shelf (however, I miss your "keem 'em coming" elswhere ) Lothar Quote Link to post Share on other sites
southwestforests Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 That's quite a model of quite an airplane. What are the kit figures like? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shan Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 wow, it looks fantastic, and thanks for sharing some of you build progress photos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hooter Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 That's a superb model, and knocks the Airfix 1/24 kit into a cocked hat, with MUCH more detail ( And i bet it fits better ! ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joel_W Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Bro, Thanks for finally posting your Mossie. I've been telling you since you finished her, that it's your best ever injected plastic build. She's even put to shame your NMF Mustangs. Just one thing, there is no room in the trunk of the Coupe for both your Mossie and your to be built F4 in 1/32 scale for our trip to next year's Mosquitocon. As it is, I'm going to have to charge you for additional luggage for the F4. Bro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Lenny Thanks you ... you are going to love the kit. Take your time and there will be no problems at all. Looking forward to your winter build thread Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 C.O. So very much appreciated and The Mossie sits front and center in the Display case, right next to my Fisher Sea Fury, my two favorite builds. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Brandon Thank you do much and yes, it's my favorite kit. I give most of the credit to Papa Tamiya for creating such a brilliant kit. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Lothar , Thanks so much. It was just time to move on and and I'm very glad I found a home here at ARC Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) SWF Much appreciated and I really don't remember as I built the Mossie almost two years ago. I'll have to go back through the instructions and see if it jogs my memory Peter Edited July 31, 2018 by Peterpools Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Shan Very much appreciated the kind words on the Mossie and glad to share some of the build photos. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 Hooter Thanks so much and I would have to agree. I've never actually purchased the Airfix 1/24th scale kit but from following progress builds, I would have to say, the Mossie is in a class by herself. Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peterpools Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 JA Of course there is, just leave all your builds home! Bro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
