monthebiff Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) From the moment this kit was announced I new I had to have one and sit it next to my HK Mosquito, after a long wait I finally received it today........ Very, very much looking forward to getting into this one over the next few days, always wanted to build Kurt Tanks Moskito but never imagined I would get one in 32nd scale. Regards.

LSP_Kevin Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I think you'll really enjoy this one, Andy, though it'll be a bit of a challenge. Mike Williams just finished building one for a magazine article, and posted the occasional update on Facebook. The main problem he struck was that the model sits on its tail if you don't modify the landing gear appropriately. I think Mike shortened the nose wheel leg, though I don't remember exactly. Good luck! I look forward to following along. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 As much as I like the inclusion of a CD introductions file I don't really like having my laptop at the work bench so first things first was to print out the instructions Also using the Kagero book as reference on this build which looks pretty good......... So its time to get stuck into this one this evening.........at last!! Regards. Andy Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 First cuts tonight starting with the clean up of cockpit parts, very, very nice quality of castings........... Not sure if I'm doing this right........one for all the HpH experts but I'm sanding the parts back with 240 grit paper to remove the thin casting wafer and once this falls of I'm assuming that's as far as I need to go initially before any test fits, any help on this would be gratefully recieved.

Guest Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I think your going about this the right way Andy.....Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooesboy Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Andy, Just a thought, but have you washed the resin yet? If not then you might find washing the small parts while they are still attached together a bit easier. Looking forward to watching this evolve.
