Bill_S Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Obligatory box cover... I will be building the Mossie mostly OOB. The only aftermarket to date is a set of stencils; I have a set of Master Model gun barrels on order. I may decide on some HGW harnesses. I'll be using kit markings. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlrwestSiR Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Nice choice Bill. I considered this kit as well but chickened out and went with the 262 instead. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RedFox instrument panels etc are beautiful, there are some pics on my build WIP on here…….. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Nice choice Bill, the Mossie is such an elegant plane and the kit is supposedly perfect. When I saw you entering the Mossie into the GB, mine was off the bench, because, I prefer no double builds. Yours will be a stunner for sure.

There's no guarantee that I'll finish this thing on time. There is a ton of plastic stuffed into that box; I've done a bit of painting, but nothing worthwhile to show for it just yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 No problem Bill, I will happily follow your build as a guideline for mine, later. I like the Mossie a lot, but it wouldn´t have been my first choice anyway. It seems, all the large scale twins are a heap of plastic and not so easy to tackle, but what is a GB without a challenge .

Thanks for the offer, Martin. I wonder what language would airframe stencils be on a Czech Mossie... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Finally some progress to show. I buggered an IP decal, so I bought the Quinta Studios set. I was particularly pleased with their harnesses. I'm headed to Florida for the month of March. I'm bringing this kit with me, but I don't know how much I'll get done. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in English, RAF standard, they might have been changed down the road when they got a coat of overall grey colour. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
belugawhaleman Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Nice work Bill! I'd love to have one of these kits.....It would sit in my closet forever---but still, I would have it! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_S Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 It's been a while since I posted an update. This bird has not been languishing; I've been plugging away at it. There are lots of parts! The engines are complete. I've painted the nacelles - I'm planning on installing the after painting the airframe. It took a while, but I got the cockpit completed and the fuselage halves together. The guns are held in place with white glue for now. I'll get the final alignment taken care of when I attach the nose. I plan on leaving the belly open to show detail. Cannons and fuel tanks. The bomb rack has been painted but not assembled. Still some detail painting to do on the underside. The landing gear wont be installed until after painting. Underside panels and control surfaces primed with Mr. Surfacer 1500. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Good to see you back on the Mossie, Bill. Cockpit and engines look beautiful. Seems to be a demanding kit with all these detailed sub assemblies. Someday, I will start mine. Cheers Rob 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
