With the house to myself, I've managed to make a good solid start to my Mozzie. Nothing out of the ordinary at this point, I used the Valinden flaps the set also comes with a plate for the rear of the nacelles which I've used. I should get it he under carriage completed today.

It definitely looks more Mozzie like now, as you can see it's pretty much together now just the bombay doors and the main landing gear doors to attach.

Making the most of the sunshine today, a coat of White primer sprayed in a very well ventilated area. I don't normally prime my models, but this one I'm going to have a go at spraying on the roundals and other markings. I had read somewhere that there is the Protental, for the paint under the stencils to come away with the masking if not primed. And I don't want that to happen.

Looking rather good under it's primer coat Ozzy. :thumbsup:

Thanks Stix,

 

Hope your weekends going well, I've spent the afternoon airbrushing the various colours for the roundels. Then the red for the letters once they had all dryed, I gave her a coat of black on the underside and sides. Hopefully I can do the camouflage tomorrow.

Hi Ozzy. Yeah - quiet weekend so far, thank you - hope your weekend has been good too so far. I got a bit done on my Mossie today but nothing major. Good luck with the camo tomorrow.

Kind regards,

Been doing some jobs in the garden, hope your Mozzies going well? Have you worked out the wiring solution?

Making the the most of the good weather, got a bit of camouflage on today. A little both blutac worms and then a bit of free hand.

Looking great so far! :yes: Oh how I wish I had built this kit instead of the Revell one!!!! :think:

Thanks Chris,

 

to be fair you've made a fantastic job of your Revell kit.

 

Today again making the most of the sunshine, the big reveal its the first time I've used stencils but definitely not the last. I'm very impressed with the out come, just the under carriage to sort out now.

The underside, I had started to whittle some Bombay doors out of balsa wood to make the correct doors to hold the cookie. However I had a couple of goes but to no avail, so I used the kits doors I know these are not the correct doors but life's to short.

Thanks Stix,

 

The insignia masks worked really well,not used them before but will definitely use them again, just the crew ladder and the nav lights to do.

 

i'm spending my Easter visiting family and hopefully eating a bit of chocolate, I hope you and Mrs Stix have a great Easter weekend to.

Calling this one done, a great little kit and an enjoyable build. Used some new techniques with the insignia masks and a bit of free hand airbrushed camouflage.
