Thant Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 (edited) Hi Guys! A second RAF build in a row this time. The previous one was the Eduard's Spitfire with Brassin Engine which gave me much headache. So this time I decided to build this Tamiya's Mossie or Wooden Wonder I should call straight out of the box. Building a Tamiya kit is a pure pleasure and enjoyable though I encountered some minor imperfections due to the old age of the kit. In this case, decals have much to criticize as the adhesion was weak and the carrier film was thicker than it should be. A few scratch details like the seatbelts made from tin foil and masking tape, brake hoses and hydraulic hoses in the wheel well are added. I concluded the build by applying moderate weathering and sealed with Mr Hobby's Super Smooth Clear Flat(GX-114)60%+ Semi Gloss Super Clear(181)40%. Hope you guys enjoy this. What should I build next? Hmmm... Sorry. Not WW2 and I should go for cold war or modern jets.

TimT Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Really stunning paintwork. Such a lot of variety in colour and subtlety in the variations. I know I'll be referring to yours when I paint mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnl42 Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Very nice work! The added detail looks excellent, particularly the harnesses. You've done an excellent job with those decals, which I too consider difficult to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
