Thanks Carl, much appreciated. I’m just starting on the IP, I’m constructing a base plate for the RedFox so I don’t have to ruin the kit parts just in case. That’s what did for the Gee. I’ll try retain all the kit parts intact. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Phil Great idea on making a base plate for the IP just in case. I should do just the same as it really makes a lot of sense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 Thanks Peter, it occurred to me when I did the Gee Receiver, the instructions said sand all the detail off the kit part. Hmmm why not just replace it with sheet styrene, also the spares box now has a beautifully moulded Gee Receiver fascia……..and a spare if I screw up the RedFox item……. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber_County Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Now the Elco is finished and off the bench, time to push on with the Mossie. Cockpit almost finished it was time to break out the RedFox not decals but very thin printed panels. Applied with PVA and away we go. IMHO they look good…….next is the .303 gunbay. Prepared the replacement barrels for a Master set, see blackened the tray. Also adding Barracuda Ammo chutes, more to come on those……..after the Elco cannot stop adding detail for my sins….. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Looking good there Phil. The nose gun bay looks great and the Barracuda ammo chutes will help since the kit ones don't have ammo moulded in them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really impressed with the RedFox as they are of a rigid construction and lay down perfectly…….. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Phil Brilliant progress and following along is a trip back down memory lane for me when I built my Mossie. Redfox decals coupled with your building skills - awesome all the way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep distracting myself with, shall I add some detail etc………the one thing about RedFox is they are not a water slide decals so you no water whatsoever. They are a rigid panel……. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Phil Seems to be the biggest difference with Quinta that needs a bit of water to release. I have to admit, the Red Fox decals look awesome - just wish they would include seatbelts as Quinta does. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 That pit looks fantastic, Phil. The RedFox panels are simply stunning, but your paintwork is also. Good decision with the ammo chutes, I have to check, if the Brassin ones, I own have ammo replicated. Cheers Rob 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Rob Thanks Rob, I tend to paint under a magnifying lens, so if it’s ok at that magnification it will be ok at Eyeball Mk 1. If you have the full Brassin set it comes with wiring etc for the bulkhead boxes on the left, I had scratch build those…….when do you think you’re is going to visit the bench?…….. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 No lo sé, like they say here in Spain, I have no idea, but there are some projects ahead of the Mossie for sure. Cheers Rob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 5, 2023 Author Share Posted July 5, 2023 On holiday this week, so a little more bench time. Engines now assembled and the rocker box covers replaced with Barracuda covers with RR logon on. You have to careful dremel out a notch for the magnets to locate inside. ……..now to concoct an engine colour………. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
