    As Andrew points out as well, you use the wing part with the wheel bay as your jig for putting together the undercarriage. Such a good idea, keeps everything true.

      Cockpit copy? I wonder what letters I missed there to cause autocorrect to turn into “copy”. I meant “canopy”.

              Russell, you've got me wanting to get one. I remember building the older mold and it was good. I think kit designers payed more attention when it was a Mossie.:smiling2:
              Nice to see this come together very well. There's nothing wrong with your eyes. War paint and pre-shading...nice.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                      I spent Saturday night finalising my wish list and pricing it up..... The kits range from cheap multi box wargaming offerings by the Plastic Soldier Company right up to an AFV Club Churchill.....14 kits in total.... Plus some figures..... I'm sitting looking at the list going is a lot of money......

                          Hi Russell
                          Just had a catch up. What a great, well thought out kit. Your progress really does it justice. That is a lovely paint job.

                                Some more work on the mossie. Very pleased with the payload work. Went for some dappling to create a cast look to the bombs and it came out great. Click image for larger version
