This kit has been in the stash for years just waiting to be built.The last time I did some Mossies they were all 1/72(3) at one time and I got alittle burned out but it is still one of my favorites along with the Spit and the Stang.I started a couple nights ago spraying things down and letting it dry and have been doing some of the details tonight so thought it was time to post.The scheme I am going to be doing is very common and we have all seen it of the Grey with yellow outlined black letter codes but it is snappy!I have another Mossie from Revell about 50% done that might get its final touches possibily also?Like Glenn mentioned about his T-Bolt from Tamy I can see already this guy is going to fit without problems already.Pics......

Good choice Kevin and interesting build particularly as I've recently read an article on a guy in New Zealand who is building his own 1:1 machine from scratch.
 
I have been assembling the pit alittle more and adding color but by gawd the radio according to Tamiya looks like a damn gumball machine when I got finished.So I went back and looked at Phil's 1/24 Moss over at LSP and his has the black/white frequency band area but also totally different in design and shape??:dontknow:

The IP is not glued yet and I am not but 50% satisfied here on that piece either so much for OOB might be going out the window?
