Re: 1/48 scale DeHavilland Mosquito FB Mk.VI/Mk.II
Excellent work Tom, that's coming along really well. Really good to see some British types being built, you need a Hurricane to go with this and your Spitfires.

That would be cool to see! The Museum of Flight in Seattle is built on the grounds of the original Boeing facility there. I want to say that one of the original production halls there is now preserved as part of that museum. Near where I live now is an airport that was a Goodyear Aircraft factory during WWII where FG Corsairs (sub contracted by the USN from Vought) were built amongst other things.Ceaser_Sa1ad wrote: ↑Thu Jul 17, 2025 10:27 pm This is looking great!
The school I was going to for a bit for aircraft maintenance was built on the property of a DeHavilland factory here in Canada. They had remnants of the original building built into it and everything. They build everything from Tiger Moths to Mosquitos

Very nice indeed Tom! So you're building a coastal command aircraft?

Yup. I realized I forgot to sand the seams from excess glue. 
Pulled out my David Union sander and took care of it. Next, minor coat of paint to cover up the sanding work, then clearcoat. Hopefully I’ll start my decal session later tonight.

Decals are done. Need to touch up a minor decal tear with black paint. Next is flat clearcoat and install the fiddly bits. Pics forthcoming hopefully later tonight.
