Those rockets are masterful - amazing stuff and easily saleable if you decided to cast them.

[harvey boyer]

I would take a few of these !...........Harv

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!

HI Gents,

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,

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 ..............................   .....

[coolboxx]

Just stunning work love it

[alpinestar]

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...

 

 

 

 

[Dave J]

That looks fantastic! Job well done!

[rkranias]

Beautiful....this has been fun to drop in on from time to time.  you are well skilled!

[Wingco57]

Fully agree, excellent build.

What an amazing model. Are you planning a display base to finish it off?

[alpinestar]

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.

[Wingco57]

Chris,

After this one, what's next?

Cees

[alpinestar]

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.

[Mikester]

Amazing!  All that and a bag of chips!

[Grant]

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.

[Anthony in NZ]

Yep, that was an epic build and thoroughly informative and inspiring.

 

Thanks for sharing this with us!

 

Cheers

Chris, I don't know what to add. To me, its simply amazing. Great work !........Harv

[ajaycad]

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

Chapeaux bas, monsieur!
