AlgiaNick Posted May 20, 2015 Author Share Posted May 20, 2015 Excellent start so far, I especially lik ethe leather effect on the seat. How do you painted that? I used some veiling (tulle)... I sprayed over the veiling 3 or 4 times with 2 coulours.... Then I used some oils (raw umber, black) and finished by the use of weathering effects of TAMIYA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlgiaNick Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Here I come again my friends with new updates, starting by the tailplane .... The interior of the tailwheel painted “wooden” (ply wood textures) and the mudguard painted black (interior) and white aluminum (exterior) as we can see in the real photos... The most important at this step is the assignment of the bulkhead (Bulkhead No7) and the adjustable tailparts support tubes of the wheel... The bulkhead (Bulkhead No7 in the Mosquito), and the tailwheel... The compartment of tailplane and tailwheel... assembled with the second part of fuselage... ...in which I added the tail fin, the rudder and... ...and the bomb-bay look aft part with the bulkheads 3 and 4.... Finally, I merged the cockpit from step 4 and the fuselage in one part. Hope you enjoyed the photos... Next update is ready... Stay tuned Nickolas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlgiaNick Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Here, we have the building of the engines and mounting them on the nacelles. The Mosquito Mk IV was fitted with Merlin 21 engines. HK’s engines of the model, are medium detailed comparing with the counterpart of Tamiya’s. There is only the general shape of the engines which is the base for a further detailing result to an expert modeler! Another serious omission is the coolant tank and the exhaust stubs, need to be drilled!Here are some photos and informations about Merlin of Mosquito. http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/2013/12/10/news-de-havilland-mosquito-b-35-vr796-cf-hml-restoration/http://www.docbrown.info/docspics/yorkscenes/yspage27.htmhttp://wwiimodeller.co.nz/walkaround-supermarine-spitfire-mk-xvie-engine/supermarine-spitfire-mk-xvie-rolls-royce-merlin-engine-21/ New update is coming very soon...stay tuned!!!
