    This is making me a believer in the Mulberry kit. Looks as though I will need to add it to my list. Great project, you are making a nice guide. I’m enjoying following along

    Thanks, I agree that SH will eventually do a B. IX, my planning however is more short run (will I live long enough) but admittedly I probably won’t have started the conversion before SH does one anyway.😛

    Would an early (no bulged bombay) B. IX be possible from the PR. XVI kit?
  4. Chuck1945
    Yes, very nice and decals do bring the model to life.

    Excellent Mosquito Charlie, ‘twas an enjoyable and informative project to follow. I even dug out my copy of Mosquito Thunder to reread more about 105 Squadron.

    Very nice Mossie
  7. Chuck1945
    Yes, looking really nice. I too have a Valom Wellesley and I started a MB kit years ago but lacked adequate references; the wavey landing gear openings and gear covers (as I recall 25-30 years later) just didn’t look right.

    Greenish-grey could be describing RLM 02 but schwarzgrau (RLM 66) would be the more normal color for such cockpit parts as a glare shield.

    I was thinking the same thought, just like home

    I use Micro-Set, but there is also Mr Mark Setter from Gunze. VMS has a product that combines. setting and softening but I’ve no real experience with it.

    Very nice Wimpy Roger My Mom passed in ‘92 and my Dad in ‘04, neither sudden. Even when you know it is coming it’s still a blow. My condolences to you and your family.

    Navigator’s work station, bombardier’s station, bomb sight, ammo boxes and much more. See the link in @Steve N post further above. I wouldn’t expect the area to be completely detailed but is was a quite crowded space and needs more than just some guns and a seat

    A little more information. The wings’ upper surfaces didn’t quite close up with the fuselage so I had used a bit of the Vallejo acrylic putty to seal the gap and then ran a brush of paint over the putty, both Dark Green and Medium Sea Grey. Later I attached the various antenna and painted them Medium Sea Grey as well but I neglected to re-stir the paint since I had just used it a couple of hours earlier. In retrospect In that was a poor decision since everything I touched up appears lighter than the rest of the MSG. I’ll redo tomorrow with my airbrush.

    Finally! Got it finished today. The landing gear gave me fits as I mentioned above. One of my attempts to assemble the second set of gear led to to try using black CA with the ‘X’ cross piece between the gear legs in hopes I would have a wee bit of working time with the glue setting as I got it in place. Nope, all I accomplished was a smear of CA on the tire I used the gear from a second kit and tube glue to finally complete the gear assembly. Should I ever make another Tamiya Mossie, I’ll try the approach Airfix uses with their XVI kit and see if I can build the gear up using the wing upper piece to set the legs while the cross piece is added, then lift the assembled gear out before actually joining the wings and replacing at the end of the build process.

    Just watched the video, I made an attempt to add some ‘stuff’ in the forward compartment of a Hasegawa B-24D, not much interested in doing that again. This one is looking more like a pass instead of purchase.
