Artful69 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Seeing as I'm not in Telford and have been following along as best I can on the interwebs...is there a good walkthrough of this kit anywhere? I hear things like slide-molded fuselages and one-piece wings and get all tingly, but would love a deeper look into the way this thing goes together. Matt ... I popped up 3 links on the "Telford" thread from another site ... on one of them, there are a few HKM stand shots there - parts and partly assembled (she's flashing her nacelles!!) ... if that helps?!

This is the best news all year. Support the bomber, guys, and the night fighter will follow soon enough! Besides, bombers are cool. HK should be applauded for putting the two types of bomb bays and engines in the one box, it's strange that folk focus on the negative; Yeah, but it's not... Especially as it's already been stated they will be producing the FB version. Maybe I should email Neil and ask that he print the FB instructions in pink with yellow bunnies on it. williamj, Artful69 and PhilM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I have the sprues here with me, and about to take some photos. I'll have these online later today. Artful69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoogsATX Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 No, because what you see on display at Telford is all there is. Those are the very first test shots out of the molds. Not what I was asking. More close-ups of what's there, a bit more detail in description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loic Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Kagemusha, it is not because some "prefer" the fighter-bomber that they do not like the bomber or that they will not buy it. I am one of those guys that "prefer" the FB but I am delighted to get this new tool mossie and I will definatly buy at least one of the bomber version. I really do not consider myself as someone who focus on negative but I recon we sometime act like spoilt child so I take your point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark P Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Is the landing light on the leading edge of the wing a late mark/post war mod? Mark Proulx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagemusha Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 ... we sometime act like spoilt child so I take your point Exactly, if I ever get a Do 335 it won't be the recently released B-2 version, happy for those whose preferred version it is, I'll be waiting until after all the various kits have been released, ZM included.

notanotherrainydaykit Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) By the by... what does "WIBBLE" mean? It's from the Immortal British TV Comedy series Blackadder, in a particular episode he utters the word during a scene were he's feigning madness, I use it when I feel that I won't be able to resist the lure of anything to do with a Mossie......

wunwinglow Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 (edited) From John Chuckmans web collection of photos.... Best shot I could find showing how the wing between the engine nacelle and fuselage is deeper than the wing outboard of the nacelle. This makes the shape of the fairing between the rear of the engine nacelle and the wing asymetric. Discuss........

Darren Howie Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Wow great images of the Mossie tooling. Those single piece fuse and wings look fabulous and if it's up to the 335 standard it's going to be a winner. Sounds like good news all around!

Tony T Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Jim has just posted a ton of shots of the sprues on LSM... http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/3096-132-mosquito-bomber-sprue-shots/ Quite simply, stunning ! I especially like the large mouldings and optional bubble or bulged canopy parts. I know the latter were a feature of the Hatfield-built bull-nosed, paddle-bladed NF.XIX's, so there's definitely scope for x-kitting when the fighter version(s) emerge. This, and its successors, look to be the 2015 kit of the year, to be eclipsed only by the Lancaster. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesHatch Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Damn, this kit is as sexy as plastic gets. I fondled the built up version at Telford whilst supporting HKM, and I do have a few close up shots to aid the build. No instructions as of yet. There are a few refinements to be made to interior parts, surface detail, and that cookie, but as you see, she's a fine bird. Artful69 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
