  1. @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
  2. You have a fantastic model there. It is full of details and finely built. Congrats, Dan
  3. Good progress and neat painting, Andrew. Are you using Humbrol enamels? Yes, the magazine (from 1951!) and the era that it depicts are really fascinating. I am also fascinated by the elegant look of people portrayed on its cover. Cheers, Dan
  4. Thanks Mike, nice feedback from you, as always! Kind regards, Dan
  5. Nice painting, especially with the metallic parts! Kind regards, Dan
  6. @king derelict, Thank you Alan for your kind comments and for constantly provide me with feedback. kind regards, Dan
  7. Dear all, just to let you know that I just finished my model and posted it in the completed non-ship models section. If you wish, you could also use the link below in my signature. Best regards, Dan
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. Good progress and nice work on the ladder. Surface detailing of this kit looks very nice. Comparing it with your pictures of the real thing, dimpled riveting might be a tad too prominent, but with some paint it should lend itself to a good reproduction. Cheers, Dan
  11. Yes Andy, it is almost completed. Presently I am working at the rockets that the Mossie carried under the wings. There are 8 of them and I always find this repetitive works a bit long and boring. Best regards, Dan
  12. Thank you for your very generous comment! Glad that you like my model. Cheers, Dan
  13. Very nice model and clean build Andy! My prediction about you finishing your model quicker than I with mine. Cheers, Dan
