    Having put this on the shelf awhile ago it’s time to finish this. The reason it went on the SOD was I tried to spray AK Xtreme metals and failed miserably. The finish was grainy and just didn’t look good. All my own fault, just didn’t get it right. Anyway, sanded the whole model down and have chosen a scheme that doesn’t have lots of exposed NMF. The question is having put Xtreme black abase and then Xtreme metal over the top, could I use either Xtracolour enamels or Vallejo Model Air over the top. My reasoning is the Xyptreme have been on there for 2 years + so maybe not effect the next coat? Just do want another disaster. Would be interested in your thoughts.

    Well guys it’s been awhile, with bereavement, project deadlines, clients being PITA’s and life, some reasons for being MIA. Just an update, Mossie , I’ve posted that in the WIP. As for other stuff happening, with the Mossie in the spray shop I snuck in this. Lots of PE and a busy cockpit…… now ready for the spray booth Well recommend this but get the magnifier out the whole wingspan is the same as one Mossie wing from tip to wing root…….

    You can almost feel the weight of the track, nice touch with the dirt clinging to the horizontal surfaces…….awesome

    Here you go, Mossie bomb bay jacks……..

    Rob, I tried it on a very thin bomb bay door jack and it was perfect. Just three strokes it covered and look instantly mirrored……

    Had a paint resupply and added this to the order. Blown away by the chrome finish it gives, amazing…….

    You should John, comparing the Mossie and HKM Havoc for basically the same money here in the UK, I know which one I’d rather have for engineering, fit and detail……….Mossie every time……

    Thanks Peter, the chutes are amazing for being cast resin. Not sure why Tamiya didn’t add the detail on the kit parts……..

    Thanks Martin much appreciated……

    Thanks Carl, going to try and make it so all the panels can be posed both ways .

    Thanks John, there are a lot of minuscule parts to complete and paint but great fun. Not sure why people say this a mojo killer. Only started this 1st July after the GB and it’s the fastest I’ve built also with the lack of bench time…..

    Bench time this month has equated to less than an hour ☹️. Life , work and the the rugby World Cup has taken its toll on time…….anyway, the Mossie box is getting a little light. The build so far, nacelles, u/c, wing all connected. Need to check fuselage seams before carrying on……..the Barracuda 20mm chutes are amazing……

    I like this scheme on your 51, the flatness of the OD shows off the mustang lines, congrats…..
  14. Bomber_County
    Thanks Fran for the pictures, some very accomplished modellers there…….

    Stunning Scott…..

    Rob, absolutely stunning congrats. I’m going to invest after your suggestion using Tamiya LP gloss black instead of Xtreme Black base. I may even re-spray the 51???????

    The tracks look amazing, AM tracks are now as expensive as the kit in some cases. I do like Dragon Magic Tracks as with a bit of persuasion that can look as good as Fruil etc………did I read Fruil are closing?
  18. Bomber_County
    Very accomplished indeed, the weathering is excellent. Are they Fruil tracks or similar………
  19. Bomber_County
    I could talk UK exotic marques that some people wouldn’t have even heard of…………never owned a Ford and quite honestly never want to……..

    Talking Klingon there Carl 😁😁😁😁
  21. Bomber_County
    Thanks Smitty, the Thunderbolt and the B24 are stunning……
  22. Bomber_County
    Quick and great weathering…..
  23. Bomber_County
    Very nice John, I reckon the VIII is the prettiest……..
  24. Bomber_County
    Congrats on a stunning build. Great subtle weathering, as Martin said my sixth build when I returned was atrocious……….looking forward to more……
  25. Bomber_County
    Looking forward to this, always wanted to see of these built…..
