Peterpools Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Jeff Some fantastic detail photographs. 3
BlrwestSiR Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 The wing tape looks much better knocked down like you've done it. Great pics Jeff. Interesting to see how much metal there is. 3
Jeff Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Thanks gents, I love the Mosquito, and researching it as well... hope this helps Martin a little bit... and yes I think your very right, Carl, the rib rape looks way better.... 2
williamj Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Looking good Martin, Don't forget the rivets all over those wings.😁 "Would you look at that, someone glued the gear doors ass to front." 7
Martinnfb Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 This is what the bomb bay looks like OOB. It can’t be right . If somebody can help out with a decent drawing or a picture of a bomb bay ( not the fighter version) I would be a happy camper 5
BlrwestSiR Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 All I could find Martin. Looks like the HK kit is correct. The tanks are mounted above the racks. The FB has tanks in the rear half above the single row of bombs. 4 1
Martinnfb Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 Thank You guys, according to the drawings that I posted above it shouldn't be one frame-like rack, but two separate racks . Similar to what is provided in Tamiya kit x2. 3
Jeff Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 The bomb racks go over the fuel tanks , so it is.......... top to bottom.... bomb bay roof, fuel tanks, then bomb racks.... bombs and then the doors... 3
Jeff Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 This is our B.35, the 'hole' on the right side of the pic is the 'bomb bay', and that is where the fuel tanks go, as you can see some of the plumbing, then the bomb rack, then the doors.... Martin, note hoe the 'hole' is white, this is as in original condition..... 4 1
Martinnfb Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 Maybe I didn’t express myself clearly. I understand the configuration and the layout , need the details so I can replicate them. Thank you Jeff. I might omit the bombs completely since it was a training unit. Or cannibalize Tamiya kit by stealing the racks from there. 1 1
BlrwestSiR Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 If you want the Tamiya racks, I won't be using them on my Tse Tse conversion since there's a 6pdr in the way. Just let me know. 3 1

Just let me know. I still can't get over how generous you guys are, Carl. It's kind of refreshing in this somewhat turbulent world we find ourselves in these days.... 4 3
Martinnfb Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 Carl is kind and selflessly generous, possessing wast knowledge yet humble as one can be. Thanks to all of you guys. Your help and patience makes this a fun place to be at. 10
Martinnfb Posted February 18, 2023 Author Posted February 18, 2023 In sheer despair added texture to the fuel tanks. Going to Nanton tomorrow to take some reference pictures. Hopefully no one gets hurt in the process. ( you supposed to laugh now ) 5 4
Peterpools Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Martin Some mighty nice work and knowing your determination for the details and to 'get it right', no question it's going to be right. 3 1
Martinnfb Posted February 19, 2023 Author Posted February 19, 2023 Thank you Peter, I didn’t make it to Nanton today. But I did some work on the resin wheels. Realizing that the slot in the center hole doesn’t align them equally, I cut out the full holes , flattened them together and hit it with some AK acrylic and weathering chalks. 10
Peterpools Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Martin Looking good and yes, over spray is overrated. 3
GazzaS Posted February 19, 2023 Posted February 19, 2023 Good looking work, Martin. Very pleased to see build log from you. 4
Martinnfb Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 Thank you guys, not much had happened besides the temperature dropping to -22 and half meter of snow and the fact that Sofia managed to break one of the arms of the landing gear and consequently I lost the small fender brace. time to make a new one. 7
Martinnfb Posted February 22, 2023 Author Posted February 22, 2023 In the meantime I received two Tamiya propeller assemblies. Thank you Carl ! In order to accommodate the new backplates to the HKM nacelles requires little resurfacing and tlc. Should be presentable at the end. 7
