I cant match the family numbers here apart from an estranged brother, myself and the admiral are loaners with no family and we both have no children, but to be honest its just what we know and how it is. OC. -
Really nice work Denis, those canopy frames are fiddly to paint - they need the tiniest of brushes, a steady hand and good light, I have even tried making by hand using tamiya tape - still fiddly trying to run a blade inside the edge of the frame to get the glazing shape. She is coming on really nice. OC.

Thank you kindly Denis, yep props/spinners to be attached after they have had thier flat coat, then the entrance ladder and comms wire between aerial (still need to fit) and a couple of bits under the wing. Oh - and the bombs need painting. OC.

You work like lightning mate - very nice work on them hulls. OC.

Thanks EG.👍 OC.

So Lou got me thinking and studying and I came to a kind of conclusion - some of the Mossie's were combined Pathfinder and Bombers, perhaps they kept cameras in the bom bays and when changed over to bombing duties - the windows were retained but the cameras removed. I found a pic on the net of a Bomber varient with windows in the doors. OC.

Thank you sincerley Lou, I dont know the answer to be honest (but I will go off and research it now you mentioned it) perhaps they were a throw over from both marks of mossie? OC.

You are doing a really nice job mate - the whole thing looks splendid - tidy, colourful and a very attractive build. OC.

Good to see your still pushing on Denis looking forward to seeing more of your build. OC.

Good day all, firstly sincere thanks for all the likes and comments, right more progress with the bomb bay area - I took a journey for my Bombay Doors and picked up a rather nice Ruby Murry (only joking) the doors needed seperating down the middle, then the insides got a couple of layers of cockpit green followed by the normal shading/highlighting then a brush on top coat, these were then glued in place.

Not so much an update just a brief type thing - I painted the bomb bay doors, they are waiting to be seperated then painted inside and weathered then have thier linkages attached and linked to the fuselage. OC.

I took this at an airshow last year - not sure if it helps? OC.

So glad you liked it Hal, it was a pleasure mixed in with a few tense moments - but mainly fun. OC.

Warm welcome to the family, so love the Elizabethan Ships, looking forward to seeing more I will take a seat if I may. OC.

The pic above was nearly in the dark, the imminunation off a small sensor light created the shadow (thats why I took that shot) because of the darkness it needed ISO 2000 hence why it is grainy. Just love the moodyness of an late night dark shot with taht shadow. OC.
-
What I will do Is to do some updated pics now I have my phone camera working better (same one I use for my aircraft builds in here) I have some work to do on the Ole Girl (new chain) so will do some fresh pics then. OC.

Very cool mate, I remember building that version with the trailer - if memory serves me right think it came with cardboard boxes and plastic jerry cans. OC.
-
At first my phone/camera was playing up hence why some of the pics were fuzzy, but thanks for bringing it to my attention. OC.
