It's been a while since my last update, things have been a little slow due to the better (?) weather - more time spent out on the mountain bike than at the bench with the Mosquito.

The .303 gun bay is all but finished, as is the cockpit, having scratch built the GEE radar receiver and indicator unit behind the pilots seat. The port Merlin is complete as are both undercarriage bays.

Thanks for looking in......

That is outstanding detail on the gun bay, only for the grey plastic in shot I would swear it was the real thing!

 

Keep up the great work.

I myself had to do a double take was this a picture out of a book or the kit!

Ajay, fantastic build so far my friend.... do you have any more picture of the walls( engine one), with all plumbing and wires on, without the engine?

and how did you manage to link the controllers to the engine? do you have some references of them?

 

cheers

Well its been just over 9 months since I last posted the WIP. I lost interest in the Mosquito and spent last summer away from the model bench and in my garage restoring two motorbikes I bought. I also kind of lost any enthusiasm in modelling for a while, but I've got my mojo back and its onto the Mosquito to get it finished. I think I spent so much time and effort into adding tiny details, that I ran out of steam, I guess we all go through a stage where something else grabs our attention.

I am currently going through the weathering process, oil wash etc hoping to have this one finished in the next week or so.

 

Thanks for looking in

Very recogniseable losing steam and interest when going full OCD mode on the last tiniest details. Am having a great deal of trouble continuing my tiny 1/72 Spitfire but just yesterday I put the second wing half on so just need to do the engine now and that's the structural work done before paint.

 

Your work on the bomb bay, cockpit and engine looks sweet, hope to be using your topic as one of the guidelines when the time comes to start my 1/24 Sea Mossie build.
