    Thanks Charlie. The Klear was sprayed on, which can be interesting. If you put it on in too light a mist, it can dry to a matt finish. Too thick and it pools and runs. If there’s any experts who can suggest a better way to do it, I’m all ears! I have to admit that the olive drab has grown on me now. It’s actually one of this country’s standard colours (as is the grey) as some of their aircraft were repainted away from the standard RAF colours, when they went through maintenance. Time for some decaling I think!

    We could all petition Airfix to put them back into production. Given the prices "pre-owned" ones go for, there must be a market and Airfix must still have the molds.

    I don't know if this link will work Charlie, but if it does, there are a few kits out there. I have a couple of the AZ kits in the stash, but I haven't had a chance to get on with any of them. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this one though 😍

    Looks great to me Rob. Well done on producing another splendid finisher.

    A brilliant finish. Nicely done. Love the subject and the build and really nice to have another ‘something a little different’ in the GB. Well done for finishing.

    She’s looking lovely @Enzo the Magnificent. Looks like all ready for final assembly and we’ll have another Finisher.👏

    Tonight’s mission was to get a coat of Klear onto both of my aircraft and I’m pleased to report the mission was a success! Also started work on the props and spinners; there might be a clue to the operator of the second aircraft in this picture. I think I’m getting close to decalling but I know I’m also going to regret having added the aerials! Might take those off again before I knock them off and lose them to the Carpet Monster!

    Sorry to say family commitments has seriously impacted my own builds and my task as a host (sorry @Johnson and @Zephyr91). There has been some slow progress and I think I’m getting to the point where both kits can be given a coat of Klear ready for decalling. Both aircraft are now on their own undercarriages Managed to touch up the slight bleed on the Swiss cross Now got to find the right colours for the propellor spinners on both aircraft

    Coming along nicely @Keeff. There are always some teething problems and the Mossies smooth wooden finish makes it all the more unforgiving. Keep going, it will be good to see this as a finisher.

    Fresh paint - of a completely different colour? 😯
  11. Roland Pulfrew
    Camouflage is looking really nice @Enzo the Magnificent. Has there been any more progress?
  12. Roland Pulfrew
    How are things progressing @825? Nice to see an unusual variant of the Mossie (even if that nose ruins her beautiful lines 😱) so I hope you’ve got time enough to finish her.

    She’s flying along now Stu, (🤦🏻‍♂️ did I really say that?), really starting to look the part.
  14. Roland Pulfrew
    Seems like a sensible option @Antoine. You don’t need a disaster at this stage, so a bit of artistic licence definitely the safest route.

    She’s coming along nicely Charlie. Interesting photos of the red painted pilot’s seat. I’ve only ever seen pictures of them in interior green. Then again, I don’t think I’ve seen any builds of the prototype (thinks to himself…..🤔).
