Grant Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Those rockets are masterful - amazing stuff and easily saleable if you decided to cast them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey boyer Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I would take a few of these !...........Harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinestar Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Thank you Guys. I have thought about resin casting in the past but I wouldn't have a clue how. I should get on YouTube and learn how! Unfortunately the rockets are now painted.....sorry Guys..! Also got the props & spinners finished. Still got to do the weathering on the prop blades though. Going to attempt to finish off the rocket heads tonight with the red and white bands. This may induce a number of four letter words though...... Cheers folks. Almost there with this one!

alpinestar Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 HI Gents, Getting pretty close to the finish line on this build! Just finished off the rockets and rails: The list of things to do is getting very small now, only a few bits to finish off..... Cheers for looking, Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 . . Greetings Chris, Guys, & Gals; ...... Another nice posting of you excellent Mossie. Over the years I have seen quite a few builds of the Mosquito. They have all been nice..... But I believe your has be the best that I have seen, so far. More than likely it is the British, Sky, painted under color. I love the Coastal Command WW-II color scheme. Anyway, I think you Mosquito is .............................. ..... Mike .

alpinestar Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi Gents, Update: It's finished! (Well, very nearly...). The Mosquito itself is done, I just got to finish off the panels that will be left off. Phew!! This will probably be my last post in this WIP thread. Once I get some decent pics I'll post it in Finished Work. Thanks for all of your comments throughout this build, it's been a bit of a marathon... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supps Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 What an amazing model. Are you planning a display base to finish it off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinestar Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thank you Guys. Hi Supps, yeah I will most likely do a grass base with maybe a mirror in the middle to show off the bomb bay. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingco57 Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Chris, After this one, what's next? Cees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpinestar Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Hi Cees, My next build will have tracks and an 88mm gun! Tiger 1 Afrika. My first armor since I was around 10 years old! After that, something for the Pacific Campaign Group Build, looking at the Trumpeter Zero for that... Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Without doubt yours is the best Mossie I've ever see, It's gorgeous and if I don't see it on a Table at Telford, I'll be very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajaycad Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 Chris,Truly jaw dropping !!I have just started my build and would really appreciate it if you could talk us through how you built the rockets, especially the mounting brackets. In my opinion, the kit examples are not too good for this scale. Thanks ajaycad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
