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……

Looking really good Phil! Lots of fiddly bits, etc but well worth it in the end.

Mighty awesome progress and your Mossie is looking brilliant. I used the kits 20mm chutes and yours blows them away. I'm not sure they were available when I built mine, but I sure wish they did.

Looking at this build makes me want to do another Tamiya Mossie. A really great kit! :)

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…..

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

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……

Absolutely agree.

During my absence I did kick on with the Mossie. It’s been primed, fettled and polished. Then I realised I didn’t like the dropped flaps. Luckily I’d put the rear nacelle cover panels on with PVA. Some scary surgery later, replaced support bars etc this is where I am. Now it’s ready to join the queue for the booth…..

Good to see the Mossie back and waiting for her turn in the paint booth.

:construction:
