Nice work! looking forward to more

[Lucky13]

Anyhoo....since the etch was annoying me so much and I didn't agree with th superglue at hand, I put it away for now and started my other Mosquito, my BOAC machine.....

Here's what I've done so far, just need a bit of touch upo here and there...







Need to get the Vallejo Color to use for the finer details as the Air is too thin to brush....not too sure how to paint the receiver or transmitter on the left yet...have no color pics of in any of my books.
There'll be a few spare parts over from this one, guns, cannons, radar...etc, being unarmed...

Looking good!

Looking good Lucky but is the other Mossie a Tamy in 1/48?I love do that if it is?I mean bulid two or three kits of the same plane at once for all the pits are about the same.I have one such setup 3XP47's, 2XTamy's and an Academy kit all 70% complete.

Looking great Jan. Are you sure about the cockpit colour on that particular bird? Mossies were normally that pale, green/greyish British interior colour. BTW, the radio kit was basically black; if you need it, I can scan some colour pics of similar kit inside a Lancaster. Might even have one in a Mossie, somewhere!

Thanks fellas...!

Javlin, both my Mosquitos are Tamiya 1/48. Might try the new 1/48 Revell one later on whenever it's released....

Terry, you old chestnut... I'm not 100% sure about the interior colour. It's one chosen from FS and the IPMS Stockholm colour "chips" on their website, there's three different shades and I picked the one that Vallejo have in their Air series... And, any help is most appreciated, as always!

Here's another two pics... See if you can noticed something, besides that instrument decals went AWOL when I didn't look...%$#$"*&! Remember that this is a BOAC machine....

Jan: Lookin' good, Mate. About that interior color. Wojtek sent me a
bottle of RAF Interior Green, for my Spitfire. The bottle is buried in the
garage, behind about 20 hanging spider plants. I can't get to it.
Ask him what brand it is....

Well, to answer your question then Jan, the BOAC aircraft seems to have a reflector gunsight that it doesn't need! Going back to the interior colour; if the reference was from the IPMS Stockholm, they're usually pretty good. However, it could well be that the info they've posted is based on post-war Mossies, when many were re-painted internally, along with most types, in the cockpit areas, in semi-matt black. Quite a few reference photos appearing in books are of (relatively) current restored/museum aircraft with the later finish. That being so, the interior colour should be British Interior Green. Sorry mate, but it'll mean a re-paint, including the pilot's seat! I'll dig out the colour pics of the radio equipment and e-mail it/them to you soonest. BTW, check your e's, as I sent a bunch of stuff today!
Terry.
