geedubelyer Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Hurry up with those pics please Carl! I've brush painted the MrColor metallics before but never airbrushed them. How durable do you find them? My experience is that the surface is fragile unless sealed but they then lose the realistic metal look. I wonder if airbrushing helps with that? Cheers.

LSP_Ron Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Looking really good, Does anyone know if the area where the fuel tanks and cannons go is really supposed to be white? I noticed this on the instructions and find it odd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Thanks everyone. Here's a couple more pics. Just kidding Here are some pics of the right kit this time. Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloorwestSiR Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 More... I then attached the cannon to the mount. Tamiya includes a couple of PE jigs to evenly space the barrels apart. And after a quick test fit into the ventral bay: With the gun troughs in place: It's not glued in yet but the fit seems fine to me.

I'm working as fast as I can Airbrushing the Mr Metal Color has been fine. I thin it about 50% with Mr Colour Leveling thinner. It still runs off a bit but it doesnt seem too. I've used flat clear to seal it and the fish didn't seem to change. Carl Edited August 20, 2015 by BloorwestSiR geedubelyer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David66 Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 Hi Carl, lovely work on both the Mossies, thanks for the heads-up re the Aviology decals by the way, it's great to see the progress you're making. The detail on the Tamiya kit is unbelievable and you're doing a great job making it shine. The shop I work at will have the Tamiya kit very shortly, (I'm trying to persuade them to get the HK kit in as well) I've got some financial priorities to sort out but I'm seriously considering getting one of the Tamiya Mossies put away for myself. Looks like I went from, "Oh, that's nice" to "I've GOT to have one!" after reading your WIP. Well done and, again, many thanks, David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David66 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 C'mon David....Get that 24th beast out!!! Yep, loving this build as well. It'll be coming home with me tomorrow Anthony! I've just been reading your WIP and I have to say that you've really gone to town on your Mossie, inspiring hardly even begins to describe it, kinda wish I'd read this before starting mine. P.S. I'm very happy you like the lights I made. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks everyone for the comments. I've not had much time at the workbench over the past week. When I have, for some reason I've picked up and worked on other kits. I added the remaining heating pipes for the cannon and basically finished off the ventral bay. I then masked off the bay so I could airbrush the medium sea grey on fore and aft of the bay. The hope is that this way it'll reduce any chance of overspray and make the masking easier. At the same time, I did the flaps and the tail wheel surround. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
