ccoyle reacted to Javlin in De Havilland Mosquito by Javlin - FINISHED - HK Models - 1/32
I have finally got some paint laid boys and I think it looks pretty close to PRU Blue not exact but their seemed to be some variances even back in the day.The first pic wasa Soviet blue but said not quite to much baby blue so looked at some more color chips and pics.The second pic is the same blue with about 25% intermediate blue needed a little grey introduced.The last pic is off the net and we do not if the color has been saturated or not.

Very nicely presented Chris, and well worth completing.
You must hold the record for the MSW longest build on the stocks to be completed award.
I thought my Pegasus build of seven years was a marathon.

Well done! I think it looks great without the rigging, it really brings attention to the lines of the hull and all the fittings.

So, first of all, if anyone is interested in why this model is finished without having any masts or rigging, allow me to refer you back to post #25.
I ordered resin swivel guns from Chris at Vanguard Models. These are very nicely done and far superior to the off-the-shelf metal ones from Amati. I was surprised, though, to discover that the guns did not come with any mounts. I don't blame Chris for this at all -- I never asked about the mounts and he never said anything about whether they were included. The lesson here is it pays to ask! I tried several methods to create mounts: wire (fail), cobbling something together from leftover PE parts (fail), and finally hit upon yokes made from scrap black construction paper. These look fine as long as one doesn't view them from head-on, otherwise they look impossibly thin.
The final shots:
So, that brings this seventeen-year-long, on-again off-again journey to a close. I do have another wooden subject waiting in the wings, but I'll divulge that project at the proper time.
Cheers!

Very well done, Chris. Display her proudly. You must have kept her in a clean room as with me, it would have had 17 years of dust being blown off.
