ghaynes Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) Well I'll give it a go. Not a clue where I'll put it if I finish it! Here's what I've got to work with. Realised I'd picked up two sets of Master .303s when I went to Hannants. One must have been put in the wrong bin as I definitely picked up what I thought was a set of Hispanos as well. Anyway, I now have a set of Hispanos as well. Not a clue what aircraft I'll be building yet. Picked up the Xtradecal sheet when I was last in Hannants and the Banff one with the D-Day strips looks promising.....then there's the temperate land scheme version...

j_jza80 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I've also got one of these in the stash, and was planning on painting it as RS619 (LA-F) of 235 Squadron at Banff. I wanted to fit the rockets and do D-Day stripes, and this seems the best one for it. it's quite colourful for a Mossie, and you get to show off the exhaust stubs too (most FB.ivs have flame dampeners) Edited November 30, 2012 by j_jza80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghaynes Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Yes, that's the one/ You've convinced me now.....Banff Mossie it is then! Cheers.

ghaynes Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I think some photos of the Merlin installation would be handy...particularly the colours of the block and rocker covers.

ghaynes Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Cheers. No immediate hurry though as I won't be building the Merlins for a while.

j_jza80 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Didn't make it through the gate, but will be going back in a week. I'm taking up an annual membership, so if you need any more pics etc then just let me know and I'll pop in if I'm passing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lloyd Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Good luck Graham. I'm a small-scale guy, but anyone tackling the big Moz deserves maximum respect. If only for flying in the face of legitimate concerns about real estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghaynes Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks Peter. I hope to post an update later today. Have made some good progress this week. My wife will be glad when it's finished as I've taken over the entire kitchen table. It's far too cold to be outside in the Man Cave! Cheers. Graham Good luck Graham.

ghaynes Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 (edited) A bit of an update from me. Most of the work has been concentrated on the cockpit. Didn't bother filling in the injection pin marks here as they won't be seen when the fuel tanks are installed That's it for now. Hope to get the fuselage together at the weekend. Regards.

j_jza80 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Great work on the cockpit! Are the cables etc part of the kit or is it all scratched? I'd love to get started on mine, but want to become semi- competent with an air gun first! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghaynes Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 The only things not in the kit are the harnesses for the seats, which are Eduard. Every thing else is OOB.

ghaynes Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks guys. Well I've been evicted from the kitchen table for the weekend but I managed to get the fuselage together before I packed up. Will hopefully resume on Monday! Apologies for the crap photo but I was in a hurry when I took it! Graham Edited December 7, 2012 by ghaynes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
