Fozzie Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted January 19, 2010 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avro683 Posted January 20, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fozzie Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted January 20, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
