Thanks Lou, with the bench being uncertain it could always be left out of the Dio, it does seem puzzling to me why this stage would not have been done in preperation for flight (probably many many boxes of them) in the hanger. OC. -
A group pic of all thats built so far. OC.

I have found this pic on the net showing one of the ammo tables - lookes like ammo belts were made uisng the device on the bench before putting into magazines/box. Perhaps the device connects a row of loose bullets onto a feed system? Not relavent to Mossie but could have been for a Mossie Fighter/bomber or Spit on the field at the time (hence why its put in the back of the jeeps trailor - been picked up or dropping off near a Spit) OC.

Good start Denis. OC.
-
Evening all, I finished the extinguishers (talk about fiddly) plastic so fragile it breaks as much as breath on it. OC.
-
Thank you for explaining that, I was confused about the bench, so I thought best to just pop it in the trailor - like its just being taken back to the hanger. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Kevin, I appreciate that. OC.
-
I'm not sure Mark, I have seen photos where they are re-arming out on the field, I assumed it was something to do with that. OC.

I foregot to mention, I have also been battling with a fiddly little thing in the shape of an extinguisher frame to support Two bottles, these need to be built up using the two sides first and held in place by a cross pole, would it stay in place and glue - not a chance, it kept falling away, anyway after about Ten Million tries I eventualy got it to stick enough to attach the top handle and bottom section. I then left it well alone to set. OC.
-
Yep and Aspartame is actually not very good for you. OC.
-
Thank you kindly Denis, with the work bench - I assume that is what the vice/ammo feed device was for? OC.
-
Evening all, a small amount of poregress - I have built the ammu bench, its designed I assume to put the ammunition onto belts ready to be fed into the wings in Spits and under the belly in Mossie fighter/bombers, so I have decided to pack it in the trailor as it been kept there while the crew have been dropped off. OC.

I have seen some diagrams and drawings of her showing flat bulawrks between decks and not the curved / rounded profiles, not sure it the difference is from a modification to her or just confusion. OC.
-
Hows it going bro? saw your earlier update - any news since? OC.
-
This will be good, are you going to build her with the Flat Bulkheads seen in some drawings or the rounded ones? OC.

Right then a few layers of paint - shading/highlighting and top coat - here we have dad up the ladder. OC.

Thanks mate. OC.
-
Evening all, next on the build - let me introduce my dad working up on a ladder, just assembled waiting on paint/weathering. The figures come as seperate pieces - torso, right and left legs, arms and seperate heads so they can be multi position. OC.
-
Thank you Roger. OC.
-
We are slowlyyyyyyy getting the hang of it, trouble with us old folk we like consistancy and regularity, change throws a spanner in the works. OC.

I always thought the Mighty Hood looks great as a waterline model due to her unique shape and freeboard on her rear deck (constantly wet) she has that slim lined look also makes her look really elegant but also deadly. OC.
-
Thank you kindly, several more to build yet inlcuding me dad. OC.
-
Figure making time - to be precise the Pilot, after making him and painting/weathering he came to life but wanted to play with the tractor first, then He stood up on it wanting his photo taken, then "play time over" so he made his way to the Mossie ladder. OC.
