Dave Ward's Tamiya 1/48 Mosquito PR Mk. IV

[Guest]

Looking pretty good there.

OK, I'm ready to close the fuselage up - I could spend days tinkering, painting the crew, but it's time to call a halt & get on with the assembly proper. Undercarriage washed...............

Well, fuselage closed, taped & allowed to dry

Wings and tail added - 5 mins work, just placed together & TET tun along the joints.
Coming together quickly now

Great work Dave love this plane

[Dave Ward]

After a few days on the Kfir, back to the Mossie. A few minor parts added, clear bits masked, wheel wells plugged and all over primed.


No demarcation lines to mask, so next will be an overall coat of PRU Blue.............

Overall spray of Humbrol Acrylic 230 PRU Blue

Once I had worked out the correct thinning ratio ( needed thinning about 40-60 ), it sprayed well & evenly. Next a gloss coat for the decals, such as they are. and a light wash ( not many panels on the wooden Mossie ).

One of your best so far Dave

[Dave Ward]

Undercarriage and doors added, ready for decals..................

[Dave Ward]

The big decals added
The 'Keep Off' decals above the wing root leading edges haven't reacted very well to the decal solution - I'm going to let really dry, then prick them & apply more solution.........
