@ccoyle, @AJohnson, @GrandpaPhil, @FriedClams, thank you very much for all your nice feedback input! I am glad that you liked my result. @gsdpic and @DocRob in particular, commented the weathering which indeed was for me one of the theme of this build. It is great to know that you found it pleasing and not obvious. Thanks also to those that followed the build and hit the 'like' (even 'wow') buttons here and in the post of my build log. At present, I am halting my modeling activity because I will be traveling to Italy, my home country. I will stay away quite long time, but I will keep an eye on the forum, although I expect I will not be very responsive. See you when I am back, until then stay healthy and enjoy your hobbies, warmest greetings, Dan

Dear all, this is my model of a De Havilland Mosquito Fighter Bomber Mk. VI belonging to the 143 Squadron of the RAF Coastal Command fighter and anti-submarine unit operating from October 1944 to May 1945 and based at Banff, Scotland. The kit was the old Tamiya 1/48 which is dated 1998, but I found this kit very nice and it still builds into an impressive model. My build log can be found here. The Extra Dark Sea Grey camouflage was often painted over the standard RAF grey/green camouflage and I applied the former so that the latter could be seen through the EDSG layer. The model is finished with Tamiya acrylic paints with the exception of the metallic parts that are finished with Vallejo Metallic paints. All the pictures of this post are taken with a Nikon 3100 camera with an aperture priority mode with an indirect natural sun light illumination. The dimensions of the Mosquito can be here compared with those of a Spitfire: Two legends pictured together: In conclusion, I enjoyed very much building this fine kit and I hope that you like my model. Now I am moving back to my ship model. Best regards, Dan

Dear all, please find the final assembly of my Mosquito build. I installed the doors to the bomb bay and to the landing gear compartments. And, after many finishing steps, I attached the underwing rockets. The tiny wiper blade, which was clearly not molded on the vacuum formed canopy, was built and added: Now only minor items are still missing and the next instalment will be the final one. Thanks for following, Dan

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal.
