    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

    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

    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,
  31. Danstream
    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
