Here is my 1/72
Tamiya Mosquito FB Mk VI. It was built out of box with the kit decals.
I modified them to represent a hypothetical fighter-bomber from the Banf Strike
Fighter Wing, based in Scotland during the last two years of World War II.
I call it "I for Ike".

I used Model Master
flat enamels for painting, sprayed through a Badger 360 Universal. For
weathering, I used a combination of pastel chalks and artists oils (burnt umber
and raw sienna), thinned with turpenoid. All panel lines were preshaded
with black enamel after a coat of primer.
Model went together
like a dream, but took me five years of on and off building. It got an
Honorable Mention at our model club's recent ValleyCon in small-scale
Multi-Engine Prop category.
Hope you like my model!
Cheers and happy modeling,
Pete
