stevej60 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hi folks,just popped into LMS for paint and as I have done in the past decided to go straight to the shelf and pick a kit without deciding beforehand or giving any thought to what I want so this was the kit! I think I must have built this years ago when it first came out,What a nice surprise it turned out to be,not earth shattering detail but a nice simple build out of the box,little filler here and there soft framing on the glazing and tricky under carriage(for me) but all done in an hour a day over six days. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redcap Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 That's a really nice scale representation of Black/ RAF NIVO colour. One question and it's hard to tell from the pics, but have you 'chipped' the paintwork to represent exposed metal? If so, I thought Mossies were predominantly wooden construction?

MikeW Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Nicely done - always had a soft spot for the Mossie. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Many thanks Gary,I used Tamiya rubber black for the airframe rather than pure black,the worn/chipped areas look silver in the photos but are actually greenish grey similar to the interior colours and are more subdued "in the flesh" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a cracker mate - love it! Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
