    I made that kit twice; the first time in 1966 was my very first Airfix kit, and I was surprised how easy it was. The repeat I did in 1972 was a huge disappointment, since the fits were off, especially in the fuselage. You did an amazing job on a kit that demonstrates Airfix's penchant for detail. Glad to see you're a brush painter, too, and you use a much greater variety of colors than what I could get back in the day. This edition of the Mosquito is by far the best version Airfix has produced, and they seem to have rectified at leas some of their prior fragility issues with their decals.

      Yeah I think this is my second time on this kit,I made a terrible job of the one I did in the 90s,half the stuff didnt line up at all so it may have been the same version of the kit. Thank you the new airfix models are fantastic though a real step above what they used to be,and thanks again I get a little tired of seeing mostly airbrush painters on youtube,I havent got the money or time to be working one of them alongside my hobbies.I think they are releasing a new version again of this same kit,im not sure what the couler scheme was for,might have been training or observation but the paint scheme in the new on looks rather bright

    Very excellent work on the Mosquito plane as well.
    I also like that one from Airfix. I even had a box of many options of Mosquitoes as well. And those were: Mk II, Mk III, Mk IV, Mk VI, Mk XII, and also Mk XVI as well.
    I have made it to be with Yugoslav markings as well. I did a few years ago. Forgot to mention that the version of that Mosquito had also a pilot figures as well.
    I just love your work, and also your channel is amazing as well.
    Keep up the work.

      @@scalestuff1066 You're welcome.
      I think that the Airfix version that I have assembled is I think from either 70's or maybe 80's (not so sure about that, I have to check it out). All I know is that the box isn't red, but it has written skills as well. And I think the skill was number 2 as well, but I have to check that also as well.

      Could be the late 80s one,if you go onto scale mates be easy to find the version with the make and the scale

      Ah I know mate, this was during a big glue famine, ordered a new bottle before the old one ran out, it leaked trashed a model that was in the same package, then the local stores and that didnt have any in stock hate the tube stuff tbh

    I enjoyed your build video. The Mosquito came out nicely! Appreciate the caution about the Bomb bay. Only question, thought you would have put the decals down before the weathering? Either way great work!

    • @scalestuff1066
      @scalestuff1066  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed the video. Yeah the bomb bays really one to watch, with the decals I like to weather them in with the whole plane as other wise they end up looking to bright and stuck on afterwards. But thank you glad you liked the build :)

    • @scalestuff1066
      @scalestuff1066  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks mate. You should give it ago the airfix kits a real nice model, the lines on it are fantastic, just make sure you paint the bomb bay before you put it in, and also don't get paints on the wing support struts

    This is not a Night Fighter, it is supposed to be a Bomber. I say supposed as it is actually a .model of a target tug TT 35

    • @scalestuff1066
      @scalestuff1066  ปีที่แล้ว

      Really what makes you say that? So airfix have got a plane based on a target tug and changed the scheme?
