Looking very good Dave. I do like a nice Mossie.

Talking of which did you see the new 1/32 scale one that is on the way. From the photos from Telford, it looks rather nice....

I had a look at the 1/32 HK Models Mosquito at Telford.See photo.Those are the sprues on that Table (and a mock up of the 1/32 Lancaster!).I was allowed to pick up and examine the parts. It looks very nice.

I've finished the cockpit and glued the fuselage halves together.There are no locating points in the fuselage for the cockpit.But I found it will only fit in one position with the fuselage together.So it's not glued in at the moment.Next I assembled one of the undercarriage/engine cowling assemblies.Normally,I like to fit the gear after painting.But you can't do that with this kit.Ive just finished a Tamiya mk4.And it's an easier build than this one

How did it perform Dave?

Looking good. The decals have one of the worst cases of yellowing I've seen. Are you using aftermarket ones?

I will be using different decals.Ive got a Monogram Mossie kit and may use ones from that.

The filler is pretty good.A bit like my favourite Squadron Green.But easier to sand.And of course it doesn't contain Toluene like the Squadron product.I may have found a new favourite.

I've now got the wings and tail glued on.And ive scribed the outline of the bomb doors on.These were represented by raised lines on the kit.Got a bit more filling and sanding to do now.
