Old Collingwood Posted May 21, 2020 Author #633 Posted May 21, 2020 Good day all, I reached a milestone today after doing a bit more touch up and weathering around the region of the damaged decals - Mossie has her wings attached. Just a few more decals to be put on the one stab, then in a couple of days time I will do a mist coat over the troubled decal area, then followed up by a couple more layers.

popeye the sailor Posted May 21, 2020 #636 Posted May 21, 2020 sorry I missed all the action............sad to see that happen OC. I've had decals do that.......that's why I hardly ever coat them afterwards. something about the decal film........perhaps not enough adhesive properties. when the decals are movable on the paper, I like to move them around a bit, to insure they have sufficient adhesion. the use of micro sol and micro set can take some away, if too much is used. one might never know the cause, but it's a learning curve nonetheless. hard to say if the use of paint pens might have helped you, but I've done that in the past with reasonable results. you did the right course of action. glad to see you can move on from here.....and get this bird finished........hopefully Murphy free mtaylor, Egilman, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote I yam wot I yam! finished builds: Billings Nordkap 476 / Billings Cux 87 / Billings Mary Ann / Billings AmericA - reissue Billings Regina - bashed into the Susan A / Andrea Gail 1:20 - semi scratch w/ Billing instructions M&M Fun Ship - semi scratch build / Gundalow - scratch build / Jeanne D'Arc - Heller Phylly C & Denny-Zen - the Lobsie twins - bashed & semi scratch dual build Billing T78 Norden in dry dock: Billing's Gothenborg 1:100 / Billing's Boulogne Etaples 1:20 Billing's Half Moon 1:40 - some scratch required Revell U.S.S.

Will I learn for the next build or one after that - "probably not" as I have to use what I have and am limited by my enviroment. Still its all fun. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted May 24, 2020 Author #650 Posted May 24, 2020 Evening all. or shall I say morning / afternoon to my friends, so after spending an afternoon in the back yard, I decided to work on the bomb bay parts still needed, I started by spraying the bomb bay doors - then put them away in the box to dry, next I put the Four 500Lb HP bombs together inlcuding slimming down the rear fin area, they still need spraying Green and having the Red and white rings painted on.

lmagna Posted May 26, 2020 #654 Posted May 26, 2020 Nice work OC, it's good to see something go right for you on this build for a change. I do not remember ever seeing porthole windows on any Mosquito bomb bay doors before. I assume they are for Photo recon aircraft where the cameras can be set up for photos.

Old Collingwood Posted May 26, 2020 Author #656 Posted May 26, 2020 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.
