tonyot Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 (edited) Hiya Folks, One that I have been wanting to build for a while,...... I like the chunky, yet sleek lines of the Mosquito PR.34 and due to structural failures in the Far East caused by fungus and moisture in the wooden airframe, it was decided that silver would be adopted for the Far East PR Mossies and many retained the PRU Blue undersides, resulting in this interesting scheme. Real aircraft; WIP,.... the model was brush painted with rattle can silver used for the upper surfaces.; Finished Model; I tried to make the tyres look less weathered and I probably spoiled them,.....oh well!

At Sea Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nicely done, glad you got the decals sorted out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted April 17, 2020 Author Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thank you all for your very kind remarks,..... glad you like it, after it finally reached the finishing line! Re the exhaust staining,..... these aircraft on the Cocos had especially dark staining on the horizontal tailplanes looking like a mixture of soot and oil and it is often mistaken as SEAC blue bands by artists,.... so I wanted to properly replicate it. All the best, Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
