(sorry about the photos being the wrong way round photo bucket is playing up)

Great work Nige, and i also like the idea of having a photo story so to speak as well as a video log, i know im greedy looking forward to this one.

Tom

cheers tom i know the video are not the best so this way sort of works round that at the mo lol

Nice start dude.

Interested to see your version of this kit.

Cheers Guppy

lovely work on the interior Nige

great stuff mate



Shane

nice vid on you tube about the mosquito. heres a little piece of info that not many people might know, a WWII pilot I know told me that when they took the mosquito over to the states the yanks used to drill holes in them an leave piles of sawdust on the ground with a sign saying turmites at work.

Nige, Santa brought me one of these, so I'm all over you build mate
She's an absolutely stunning kit isn't she? No pressure, but really looking forward to seeing her come together, so come on get on with it....

Tim

Cheers Tim she will be together soon buddy lol.

Nige, are you going for a camo scheme or a PR PRU blue scheme?

-Draz

It will be the camo scheme with the light grey undersides with invasion stripes with 627 marking

Nice, I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

I have the 1/72 Tamiya Mosquito and going for the PR colours, which in actuality is one colour, PRU Blue. Hopefully it won't look too plain and as I'm doing it with a hairy stick, no brush marks. :-D

-Draz

not seen one built in a while so I will look forward to it mate. with brush painting just use a decent size brush and try to keep in in the direction of the air flow and you should be fine good luck with it buddy.

Look forward to seeing this come together mate.

cheers

Rossco

Nice start Nige,best of luck with it , especially the invasion stripe,s

Thanks mate and I would like to say thanks again for the kit.

Just a quick update the cockpit and bombbay have been given a light wash and some dry brushing and are now in the fuselage (photos of that in the next update)








thanks for looking

That interior is really coming along nicely dude.

Looking good Nige, keep it coming....

Looking great, the dry brushing really picked up the details, nice work

Mark

You're off to a very good start there Nige. I like the brushwork on the interior. The little details always count.

Looking good, interior is coming along nicely.

cheers

Rossco

Looking very nice Nigel. Cockpit turns out really well. Keep up good work.
Looking forward to see next part of this build. The Tamiya Mosquito is really nice kit to work with you shouldn't have problem with that in the next stages of the build.

Great work on the interior Nige ! Nicely done !

Nigel, this thing is looking awesome mate! Some lovely painted detailing in that 'pit.

Thanks guys for all the nice comments.

Sorry there has not been many updates with this build but what with work and life ive not had time to take photos and do updates.

so here we are with a few photos of where im at with the mossie.





its had a couple of coats of Klear so hopefully it will bw on with the decals next weekend.

Looking sharp Nige, great job on those invasion stripes too mate

Your doing a cracking job, well done

That's looking real impressive so far...

Loving the invasion stripes dude.

Cheers guys

right a quick update got the decals on and then Klear coated and a wash add before a matt coat was applied and some more weathering with oil streaks and what have you.




so hopefully will be able to get it finished soon

Impressive work Nige and i like your channel just as much as the photographs, it has that i can do it effect, the mossie looks fantastic and one of my favorites, such an iconic plane and a very interesting history to how it all came about.

Tom

The Mossie is looking sweet Nige.

Fantastic work on your Mosquito. I love paint camouflage and the invasion stripes also. Very neat and clean work. Looking forward to see est of the build.
Cheers

Hi guys here is were im at with the mossie


its had an oil wash and some grime streaks just to give it that used look
