Global Scale Modeller

I can't wait to get started! I will have a delayed start however, this weekend is my son's 2nd birthday!

Not to worry,you have 4 months, another Mossie to leach after mmmmmm

Good luck, Les

Welcome to the sig, very glad to have you along
I am wishing you good luck and an enjoyable time
Scott

Happy birthday to your son ! Enjoy it because it goes by fast! Mine got 4 years old.

Great to see another entry to the Mossie Possie in the SIG. Just make sure you undermine the other Mossie builders - nothing like a bit of healthy competition

So I finally got to start my build! The birthday party was a huge success and I got to work on my Mosquito!

Here’s the Box and instruction pictures.

Pictures of the sprues.

The parts have a little cleanup needed but nothing major.

Step 1:





A little panel line accent color.

Steps 2, 3, & 4:



The fit was a little finicky here. I hope I can adjust things later on.

Step 5:



This completes the first page of the instructions! Hopefully I can get more work done this week!

Thanks for looking!

Good progress so far, looking forward to this one. Interested to see how it compares to the Tamiya one.
I'm liking those instructions, hard to believe that they are from Revell! Miles better and so much cleaner than the brown paper bag ones they used to do

Good start and those colored instructions look so much better than black and white.

Some beautiful work there, and agree with digger, those instructions are the dogs!

Awesome start there

Les

Thanks everyone! This is the first Revell Germany kit that I have built. The instructions are definitely fine quality and help tremendously.

That looks like a lovely kit great start must get me one of these looks pretty much as good as the tamiya one

Looks like a nice build.
Have fun.

So I got a little more done. I don’t feel like painting though so this is as far as I’m going tonight.

Steps 6-12 minus paint!

looking good so far Chops

Paul

Great start there mate looking awesome

Not getting good vibes from this plastic. I’m getting fish eyes on some of the parts I’ve painted so I decided to wash the sprues. This is something I rarely do but I feel it is necessary for this project.

Looking good to me

Les

I mostly paint on plastic out the box, but some times it is bad with the old fish eye.
Looking good.

Give her a good wipe down with some isopropanol before you prime
The interior is looking great
Door prize draw coming up this weekend

I am really struggling to find the motivation to continue this build. This happens all the time with me. I start getting back into the hobby and something gets my attention. This time it is my RCs. I've done nothing but tinker with my nitro truck for the last month, LOL!

Don't make me come down there and rough y'all up
You have until August 31st to finish, so tons of time
I am sure you will bust something expensive and have to rest the R/C truck for a while and then loop back into modelling
We had Losi electrics and I kept breaking wheel hubs.
You would think a four stair launch wasn't THAT much stress Guess so

Anyhow, no panic as most of us have a little mojo hit when the sun comes out

Finally forced myself to put in some styrene time, lol!



HOLY SEAM GAP, BATMAN!!










I don’t blame the kit for the bad gaps. I am certain the previous steps were botched by yours truly, LOL!

Looking good, some progress
The joys of sanding and filling

Ha!!!
I woke you up

I really hate that I haven't worked on this kit but I am just not getting any enjoyment from it. I guess I just need to stick to armor for now. Which sucks since I have a Tamiya F-14 and an Italeri A-10 waiting in the wings (pun intended).

Maybe one day I will pick it back up!

Is there something specific stumping you??
I get all weird as I get close to finishing a build deadline or not...I rush and just want it to be done. Happens nearly every time.
Just pick away at the Mossie 10 min at a time, do something small and then work on what your mojo wants after that
Sooner than you think it will be done

I'll definitely give it a shot. I don't know exactly what it is. It's usually one thing that happens and it just sets the mood for the rest of the build. This time it was the ill-fitting fuselage. Now the landing gear is just blah, LOL!

Thanks for the pep-talk!

Ya no worries, just trying to help out
We all get there with a project and want to toss the damn thing
Hell, I pulled a Porsche off my shelf of doom and painted the darn thing after two years in exile....just to avoid seam sanding
Little bits at a time help me
