- My kit review, and full build of Tamiya's 1/48th Mosquito FB Mk VI, my first ever Tamiya Aircraft kit!
The most produced Mosquito variant, the FB.Mk VI, was a fighter-bomber powered by either the 1,460-hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 21 or Merlin 23 giving the aircraft a top speed of 380 mph, it had a range of 1,205 miles, which could be extended by a further 500 miles with underwing drop tanks. Armament would consist of four 20mm cannons and four 0.303-in machine-guns and either four 500lb bombs or from 1944 eight rocket projectiles and two 500lb bombs. The Mosquito Mk. VI prototype made its maiden flight on the 1st June 1942 and entered service the following year on the 11th May 1943. In total 2,305 examples were built and the Mosquito FB.Mk VI would equip over 20 squadrons serving over Europe and it would also see action in the Far East.

Most excellent. I learnt quite a lot from this video- especially the pre-shading technique. I have this kit in my stash, so I will be building it in due course and using what I have learnt. Thanks for posting! :)
Im glad you enjoyed it! I would love ot see pics on my discord server when its done! link is in the description below if you fancy joining us!
Great!
Thank you?
yep that cockpit glass is brutal to paint
Nicely executed in a kit that I have only ever built in 1/72nd scale.
it was my first ever Tamiya aircraft kit. i was not disappointed. 10/10 would highly recomend to anyone
Nice work.
Exhaust stains on the Mosquito would run around the engine nacelle sides, and underwing, with some staining also on the undersides of the tailplane.
Heres two pictures that show the exhausts stains as i depicted them :)

Love the review and the detailed build more please
can you believe i chopped that down from 3 18 min videos on the entire build?! well, 4 if you include the review!
Nice one.👍 I like your results with an appropriate amount of weathering, without overdoing it. I've just started to build my own Mossie. I reckon I'll select the No. 143 Sqn. RS625/NE-D in Coastal Command colours. Although after perusing Britmodeler, I may consider a different CC squadron with invasion stripes. Anyway, I think it's still quite a nice kit and certainly one of my favourite aircraft of all time.
I love coastal command colours! I will definitely do this kit again at some point in the future in coastal comman colours
I am currently in the middle of this build and I had a problem with the forward bulkhead in the cockpit assembly. It wasn’t perfectly perpendicular so when I enclosed it in the body it intruded and prevented the top cowling (just behind the nose cone) from seating properly. I had to do some shaving and some gap filling with putty.
Sounds like you did great to solve that!
Great video! What paint did you use for the RAF interior green?
Thank you! I used interior green by Vallejo air 😊
Another great show case
Thank you Wayne
I’m also building a mosquito in 1/48 and I’ll be painting it in photo recon blue
I lovfe the PRU Blue mozzies, i did one when i repaired a 1/32nd mossie
@@KABModels 1/32 dang thats big at least it’s not 1/24 lol
@@modelmagic9930 it was about the same size as the 1/24th spitfire or 109 and the wingspan was similar. the 1/24th mozzy kits are too expensive lol

this t shirt might be for you then! my-store-c82f9d.creator-spring.com/listing/flappy-bits-t-shirt
Great build! What psi is your airbrush at for close up painting?
Thank you. The Psi was about 8 for the close up work, and the paints were over thinned slightly so as not to spiderweb when the airbrush is close to the surface
