Old Collingwood Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #181 Posted February 27, 2020 A tiny bit of progress today - I have decided to build her on a little modification - during the Bomber Mosquito's missions it had a secondary role where by it operated as as towing escort for damaged planes from spits to mosquito's, during the war there was a surplus of giant paint brushes that came in perfectly for use as towing handles.................

Old Collingwood Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share #186 Posted February 29, 2020 After spraying the primer - its made it obvious that I made a mess of the nose, so tomorrow I will take the tape off the nose glazing then I will put a fresh couple of straight line masking tape runs around the circumference of the glazing where the frame ends, then I will gently sand around the area to get a smooth transition from the glazing back onto the forward fuselage.

Old Collingwood Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share #187 Posted March 1, 2020 Hi all, with the Spit no resigned to the spares department - its given me more time to work on the Mossie, firstly I attacked that nose detailing that I had done before - I took the masking of the nose and carefully re taped it level with start of the frame nearest the fuselage, then I used a very narrow piece of light sanding stick - and sanded the strip I had put on, this went quite well with the sanding stick piece being only very narrow - I was able to control where I was sanding, after I tacked it with tape to get rid of any dust - then I went out side and sprayed a couple of coats of surface primer just over the front area - job done.

Old Collingwood Posted March 1, 2020 Author Share #188 Posted March 1, 2020 While the fuselage is drying I checked the instructions - they call for the main undercarriage units to be made - they are made up from two side units and a few other smaller sections - its a case of gluing then supporting while they glue, then when complete again support and put on one side.

Old Collingwood Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #190 Posted March 2, 2020 (edited) A little trick I found out for myself - to stiffen the spindle parts of the leg assemblies, I work some CA along them with a fine stick/fuse wire then heat it fast with a hair dryer to set the glue quicker, this really seems to make the thin plastic parts a lot stronger.

Old Collingwood Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share #191 Posted March 2, 2020 Hi all, a good day today I did the kind of work where you feel your not getting very far - but in fairness a fair bit was actually done, starting with the undercarriage units I painted therm flat alum then I put them aside to dry - then I added a couple of coats of paint to the wheels, after drying with a hairdryer I then highlighted them to bring out the tread details - after I painted the hubs flat alum. I then studied my idea for extending the front units as the Revell ones sit to low, I dry fitted the two engine cowl units and worked out how the undercarriage sits in place, its is a tight space in there and the legs needed to go in at an angle to fit, I then worked out if I used a 1-2mm strip glued it it and bored a couple of holes - it kind of did the trick. They are not fitted yet just dry fitted as there is a system where the whole wing needs assembling first - but the flaps also need assembling and fitting as they are movable surfaces, this all needs doing before the engine cowl/undercarriage units can be fitted together. I also worked on the inside section of the wing that will be in view - like the inner groves when the flaps are dropped - also the rads in the wings were painted then fitted inside the one section of the wing.

Old Collingwood Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #207 Posted March 4, 2020 Just thought - I sprayed the Black first, should have sprayed the two colour camo on the top of the fuselage first, then masked slightly over that for the Black, guess when I take the tape off I will have to gently fine sand the hard edge from the tape, then slightly over-lap the tape on the black for the camo.

Old Collingwood Posted March 4, 2020 Author Share #210 Posted March 4, 2020 I have to say - this is the very first proper 1/48 kit I have built and the first go at spray painting, even if it is just Rattle cans, so my routine might be a bit shaky as I am learning as I go a long with the aid of lots and lots and lots of reading up and looking at other build logs for aircraft all over the net.
