Tamiya 1/32 De Havilland Mosquito, "Operation Jericho"

[Nikola Topalov]

Hi guys,

 

As I have finally finished Tami's He219, I am going back to big scale with Tami's Mossie in the markings of captain Pickard's bird during the famous operation Jericho.

 

In my opinion possibly the best airplane of WW2.

 

As for AM, I will be using HGW seatbelts, Master guns and Eduard exterior set.

 

Best,

Nikola

I'm pulling up a comfy chair to watch along with this one. 

 

With one of these waiting in the wings this is perfect timing for me Nikola.

I was in Tokyo last year and stopped by the Tamyia store and grabbed this beautiful kit... among others.  Can't wait to see what you do with this.  I'll be watching intently.

Hi folks,

 

Some very slow progress on the Mossie:

Delicate detail enhancement Nikola.

As I have an interest in doing the same subject in 1/48, and you do great work, I will be anxiously watching the updates!

Beautiful work there, and love your work on those seat leathers. How did you achieve that?

 

By the way, that colour looks spot on for the seats too, well done.

Great start on the Mosquito!

If it's not too late, I highly recommend Barracuda's resin radio and cockpit decal sets.   They really bring the interior to the next level.  Fantastic work so far.

Holy crap!  Operation Jericho as in “the walls came tumbling down.”  I cannot believe it has taken me the better part of a century to make that connection.  It just plumb evaded me.  Now that I am enlightened, I very much look forward to this.  Like cowbells, it is impossible to have too much Mosquito.

Some fine tuning of the seats...
