Revell Mosquito B.MK.IV

That looks very nice indeed. I feel your pain regarding accuracy as I have a (stalled) build of their 1/32 version. That is also……’challenging’. The Tamiya paints look nice on it, so must invest in their rattle cans come the day I do mine 😆 Trevor -

Welcome back to the hobby! I’m assuming the wheel and hub are one unit? A method (not one I have used btw) is to first paint the hub in your chosen colour. Once dry, apply a liquid mask such as pva glue to the painted area. Once that has set, spray the wheel. The mask can then be picked off with a toothpick once the paint has dried. It’s a modification of a technique used for painting camouflage on plane wings. If you don’t want to use pva, use a blob of blu tack instead. Even with a coat of paint it is still malleable and has the advantage of being re usable. Good luck Trevor

That is an excellent result. A real silk purse from a sows ear! I butchered one recently as an alternative Nimrod. Any inaccuracies were ‘dismissed’ as irrelevant! Trevor

Frankenspit - The Return
Max Headroom replied to Max Headroom's topic in Work in Progress - Aircraft
Wow, the last time I touched this model it was hot outside. I know there isn’t much left to complete the Eduard IX, but I always found something else to do. I think it’s called procrastination. My six year old granddaughter certainly had an excess of it! Anyhoo, last weekend I took stock of what I needed to get it over the line. Basically this….. Parts were duly painted up. In addition there was the quite frankly silly three piece main wheels. I see the logic of the separate hub, but why do the wheels need to be in two parts? And in 1/72. As Ed Heinemann once said “add simplicity”. The hubs have five spokes and once painted they looked awful. So a quick rummage in my Spitfire spares box, failed to elicit another pair. However, I did have a spare set from my AZ IX/XVI from a few years ago. Unfortunately, they were four spokers, but since I’ve seen the IX with both I made an Executive Decision to use them. So there! That was last week and so today I did the deed and finally, finally, stuck them on. To be fair, these days me and painting 1/72 wheels don’t get along that well. Must be my age/eyesight/temper/lack of skill! My aim, is to learn the art of convincingly grotting up models by adding mud and wear and tear (thinx I need to look up weathering with pastels on YouTube - suggestions welcomed). Here we go with the finished product I’ll add some more photos later in Ready for Inspection, once I have flown a few missions with her from a muddy field! Now then…….I have that new tool Airfix Vc to complete as a Seafire II. Wish me luck 👍 Trevor -
