    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

    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

    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

    Thank you for your very generous comment! Glad that you like my model. Cheers, Dan

    Simply beautiful! Dan

    Very nice model and clean build Andy! My prediction about you finishing your model quicker than I with mine. Cheers, Dan

    Hi all, I furnished the interior of the bomb bay and sprayed the exhaust fumes on the nacelles. In the pictures, the exhaust stains turned out a bit grainy, but I cannot correct them anymore, unfortunately. This time, the airbrush betrayed me. That's all for now, Best regards, Dan

    Thank you Alan, glad that you like it. Generally, I like improving the gears, especially if they are well molded as it is in this case. Best regards,

    That's gorgeous Craig! The white trimming on the seats are really the cherry on the cacke. Cheers, Dan

    Hi all, thanks for your feedback. I went on completing the landing gears subassemblies by adding the wheels and the brake lines: The tail wheel went in its place: The main gears also went in their places: By the way, I started also to spray some dark shadows along the wing/nacelle corners in preparation of the exhaust stains: Best regards, Dan

    Hi all, thanks to your feedback and like's! I went on with the small items and after having blackened the brass machine gun and cannon muzzles, I finally installed them into their nose gun bays. Then, I brushed on top of them some graphite powder to add some shine. After that, I prepared the propellers and started painting the spinners. I tried to reproduce a kind of spotted discoloration on the blades using the salt grains technique. The spinners sported bands of yellow and light blue colors and that was anything but trivial to paint. I can't remember how many times I tried with different methods, but eventually I managed to get a reasonable result by spraying the light blue first, then masking it with flexible Tamiya tapes and then spraying the yellow color last: Hereinafter, please find few pictures of the finished propellers provisionally posed on the nacelles: That's all for now, best regards, Dan

    Outstanding result and very good tutorial. Congrats, Dan

    Many thanks OC. I read in a post of yours about you experiencing problems with the movements of your hands. I am really sorry to hear that and I really hope that you can find some remedies for that. Warm greetings, Dan

    Good progress Andy. Never mind that the pre-shading didn't work as expected, the result is nevertheless fine and smooth. I find that trying new things always adds interest to the hobby. Best regards, Dan

    Hi, I sprayed few matt coats on the entire model, but this took longer than anticipated. I used a Tamiya matt clear which is not completely dead matt, but I liked it anyway. Finally, I could also remove the last masking and verify the result on the dreaded vac-formed canopy. For the upper surfaces, I also added drops of EDSG to act as a filter for the bright decals: I applied 4 light coats wet sanding in between, including the decals. The last coat was not sanded. In this way I tried to get a smooth 'egg shell' finish as shown below: The canopy turned out not too bad, although some imperfections are noticeable along the bonding line. The lower surfaces received fewer matt coats. Despite the age of the kit, which is dated '98, the surface details are very fine and crisply done, typical of Tamiya. Next I will airbrush fumes and I will tackle the remaining small parts. Best regards, Dan
