Airfix 1\24 Mosquito FB.VI

[peterairfix]

I am going to jump in at the deep end as I have always promised myself this kit and it was purchased using my Christmas money.
On first inspection the moulding looks good no flash to speak of and mould seems not very noticeable.
On with the spure shots and that took an age in itself and I am glad to see rubber tyres.
The IP has seperate decels for each instrument and note the number of stages and parts.[ATTACH]292203[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292204[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292205[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292206[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292207[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292208[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292209[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292210[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292211[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292212[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292213[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292214[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292216[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292217[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292218[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292219[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292220[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292222[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292223[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292224[/ATTACH]

Time for the construction to start first up is the pilots seat and there five ejecter pin marks on the back of the seat to be filled in.[ATTACH]292265[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292266[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292267[/ATTACH]

You might need the 'big' needle in the airbrush.

Finish the seat and sorted out the ejecter pin marks on the back but there are plenty more to fill in as I am about to start on the cockpit floor[ATTACH]292296[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292297[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292298[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292299[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292300[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292296[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292297[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292298[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292299[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292300[/ATTACH]

Nice start Peter, but I see you will be filling ejector pin marks a lot.

[peterairfix]

The cockpit floor is done plus some detail add underneath plus more ejecter pin marks filled.[ATTACH]292386[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292387[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292388[/ATTACH]

Good start Peter, but dear me, the amount of filling, to my mind, is just not acceptable. So top marks for the job you're doing on them.

I'm sure you'll make a top class job of the model.

[peterairfix]

More work done today just finished off the pilots and navigator seats plus other details so far no problems except the ejector pin marks[ATTACH]292571[/ATTACH][ATTACH]292572[/ATTACH]
