Fozzie Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hi all i got this as a present to myself for xmas,i have made a start so here is the progress i have made so far. Thanks for stopping by and happy new year to you all. Clive.
avro683 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Those engines look nice! Enjoy the build, weather permitting I've got one coming next week.
Kostucha Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Boy am I jealous! Lovely work so far. And a mustache! Airfix really seemed to think of everything. Can't wait for mine to arrive. Happy New Year to you too good Sir!
Fozzie Posted January 1, 2010 Author Posted January 1, 2010 Hi Mark so nice to hear from you hope all is well in the camp and a very happy new year to you sir.This really is a fantastic kit it just falls togather like no other Airfix kit i have made,im enjoying building her so much that my R/C Spitfire is on a hold at the mo.Im waiting for the pain dry on the engines so more pic's are soon to follow. Clive.
Av8fan Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 VERY Nice to see another Mossie on bench. Well done! Happy New year!
pappy1 Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Looking good Clive, man those engines are beautiful. I will be watching this one close trying to get up the nerve to start on mine. Good luck, and all the best.....Pappy1
Fozzie Posted January 19, 2010 Author Posted January 19, 2010 Hi all off work at the mo with a throat infection which has taken me voice away haha,but i have been able to get some things done on the ole Mossie.Its not a lot but things are slow here at the mo,dry fitting the Merlins to the wings what i can say is there a snug fit which is nice.The cockpit is comming along slowly but i should have the fuselage togather by the weekend with luck. Thanks for the interest and happy modelling chaps. Clive.
Out2gtcha Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 VERY nice start Fozzie! I would definitely say the Mossie is my favorite all time Brit aircraft and most likely my second favorite of all time............first being the F7F; gotta love those twins........ I just picked up one of Revell's older 1/32 Mossies and cant wait to get started........your build is making me want to start it now! Keep the pics comin! Cheers, Brian
TimW Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 My Mossie arrived today and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!! Can't wait to get started--yours is looking excellent! Tim W.
Fozzie Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 TimW im real happy for you ,its a great plane and an excellent kit just take your time and as long as the end result looks swell to you thats all that counts.Thanks again for your comment and the same for who else has left a comment,more to come just taking its time to get here.I will take this oppertunity to appologise for the quality of some of the pic's as there from my mobile phone ,the camera is packed away ready for this years airshows as so not to get the dust inside it. Cheers Clive.

Cheers Clive. You are right about taking your time...I shall savor this one like a gourmet meal--shouldn't be too hard with what 253 separate steps? Of course, the agonizing has begun over which version to make. But at least I already have my Eduard seat harnesses. I like the Pacific theater so I was immediately attracted to the RAAF scheme...but the silver Mossie has never really wowed me. I like camouflage, so I'm more likely to do the Operation Jericho aircraft. Some decals for 418 RCAF would be nice.... Regards, Tim W.
avro683 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Mine arrived this morning, minus the main clear instrument panel part. I've ordered a replacement. Apart from that I'm really happy.
Fozzie Posted January 20, 2010 Author Posted January 20, 2010 Great Tony im glad to hear it,you won't be disappointed and you can do so much with this kit if you have good referances.Just remember to take your time and you will have an outstanding model. All the best Clive.
TimW Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 My only pet peeve so far is that I had to print out the Humbrol paint list as everything in the instructions is "by the numbers." But it's a minor quibble. Tim W.
