elmarriachi Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Hello, I have finished the gun bay (bombs will follow later), also the engine covers were finished and added. These remain removable, mounted only with some magnets and clips. The landing flaps installed as well, also some bomb racks under the wings. Next step will be the masking of all open areas, so that the painting of the outside could follow next. The final details such as covers of the landing gear bay, the landing gear itself, cockpit, doors and further small stuff follows later. Cheers, Micha Gazzas and Jeff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 Hello, started the painting during the past few days... First a layer of black primer on everything ... ... then a layer of Royal Airforce Grey of Lifecolor, not fully covering the black primer ... ... Then masking the camo with Blutac and Tape ... and spraying the olive green color (also Lifecolor) ... Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmarriachi Posted May 22, 2017 Author Share Posted May 22, 2017 ... after a layer of clear coat the decals followed. As I want to built a Canadian version with wonderful nose art I chose some decals from the aftermarket. These fit perfect. Then feeled 1000s of stencils followed. Some were used from the Tamiya kit, some others from the aftermarket set as well. Now some drying time, then clear coat matt, then oil colors ...

Joel_W Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Micha, A perfect paint scheme followed by decals that look as though you used masks to paint them on. I'm really looking forward to your next update . Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinbanger Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Micha Great build! I also like to prime my models with flat black when appropriate. Keep up the good work! Richard. Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard, I'm a black baser even with light to white colors. I just change the gray to flat white and make sure that the white out numbers the Black squiggles.

elmarriachi Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 Hello @ all, Thank you so much! The Mosquito recieved its undercarriage... silver painted with black and brown oil colors. The multipiece wheels were painted in dark rubber, then dusted with grey and beige pigments. The bombs were painted in olive green, then lightend with yellow, then decals and clear coat and oil colors ... then mounting. Some etched parts still missing on the pics. The propellers were glued togehter, then the tops painted in a light yellow and masked before the rest received its black paint. The spinners were painted in silver, the covers in light grey as the rest of the fuselage. Some silver scratches and damages were added with a sponge and some oil color was used for weathering. After that all the removable parts were mounted, engines closed for the moment and the exhaust gas sprayed with the airbrush and black, grey and brown colors.
