gunpowder Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have built a few now and its a really nice kit. The weak point on the undercarriage is where the small "loops" at the top on the leg join it to the model. They snap if you are not careful.

I'll have to keep an eye out for that, assuming I actually get the model, which I really hope to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Any progress with the references list, Ron? Our own kit database listing (here), shows 41 titles specifically associated with the aircraft, quite a few of which I do not own. I'm curious as to whether any of those I don't have, are worth a purchase (or not). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonGUSA Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Hey LSP_K2 Sorry it took so long to get back to you, been feeling a little under the weather.

The official camouflage, colours and markings of RAF aircraft, 1939-1945. 2) Squadron Walkaround Mosquito #15. 3) Squadron Mosquito in action part 2 #139 4) Mosquito FB. VI Airframe, systems and RAF wartime usage by Dave Brown, Sam publication's. 5) The De Havilland Mosquito A comprehensive guide for the modeller by Richard A. Franks. 6) Airframe & Miniature No. 10 The de Havilland Mosquito Part 2: Fighter, Fighter-Bomber & Night-Fighter (including Sea Mosquito). 7) De Havilland Mosquito 1940 onwards (all marks) by Haynes Owner's Workshop Manual.

LSP_K2 Posted October 6, 2019 Author Share Posted October 6, 2019 Thanks, Ron. I have most, but not all of the books you mention. The Valiant Wings volume is certainly on my "to get" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonGUSA Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The first one is the one from the RAF museum and has color chips on the last page, great for matching or mixing your own colors. I have matched all of the colors I need to do PZ474 in Extra Dark Sea Grey and Sky and all of the roundels, code letters and serials with Vallejo Model Air paints. I have all the masks I need from Makater. I've never done paint masks, other then canopy ones, before. I have three bottles each of the EDSG AND Sky, just to make sure I don't run out in the middle of painting...lol Ron G Anthony in NZ and LSP_K2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
