Before I comment on anything else; this was made in the U.S.A Looks like it's coming along nicely ;-)

Made in the USA way back in 1966.Very good for its time I think.

Tonight I glossed the model with Alclad gloss clear coat.Then I applied the decals and glued on the radar aerials.And I've glued some brass .303 machine guns into the nose.Just need to paint the guns,Apply a Matt coat and fit the undercarriage.

Huh, just a little personal joke. ;-) Not much stuff is made in the U.S of A now ah days.

Looks cool so far. Is it going to be a night fighter?

Mosquito is looking great Dave. Looks very sinister in the overall black scheme.

[ATTACH] The undercarriage is now glued into position.As it only has mounting points at the front,I added a piece of sprue to brace it at the back.Then had a go at weathering it.Not sure what to do with an all black aircraft.So I decided to mix some black and white oil paints with white spirit to make grey .I brushed this sparingly on the model, wiped of the excess and left it to dry for a few days.Then after my problems with Vallejo Matt varnish,I bought some Alclad 'Klear kote Matte'.I gave the model two light coats with it.So that's the model finished.[/ATTACH][ATTACH]96642.IPB[/ATTACH]
