I knew this would happen.  I've been wanting to build the 39 for eons and finally started it and opening up things while scratch building and WHAM!  New kit! LOL

 

Oh well learning and having fun with the Special Hobbies /Revell kit anyway.

 

Thank for sharing!

Well after completing my D-13 build, I am beginning to see a D-11 build somewhere in my future.  Very nice set produced by Montex, resin castings are excellent.

Hope your castings are better than the three I purchased.  All three suffered from massive shrinkage and nothing fit.  I'm working on my own D-11 parts to use on my build.

More extras for the HK Mossie.

 

Exhausts look stunning!

I noticed that HK doesn't include the inner exhaust shrouds. I have no idea if these were removed in the field or not like the shrouds on P-51 Mustangs...

Well, maybe not 'LSM' size but calling for some serious decalling and decorating skills...

So, very much LSM quality potential, I'd say.

 

You actually get almost all the black and yellow as a decal, but I'll probably mask and paint most of it. I've done something similar with the black and yellow striped F-104 a few years ago.

Got myself a Citadel basic paintset today. During lunchtime visited a games workshop and met some nice guys there. They showed me the paint and left not emptyhanded. Working in the centre of Amsterdam has it's uses.

Hi Gus,

Nay, Rozengracht, it is close to the Rokin (give or take a mile) but behind the Royal Palace at Dam Square.

They have a set of washes too, I was shown some projects they were working on and it looked great. And nothing

is done by airbrush. Just a quick primer with a spraycan and the rest with the hairy wand.

... The only thing I wish for now is a half-serious flue-attack so I get to read the 300 pages undisturbed in bed... -_- ...

 

Go the 'Man-Flu' ... ham it up ... you'll be right ;) ;)

 

Looks like there's some Walrus references in there!

My haul was modest, I got the Haynes Manual on the Bristol Blenheim, and the HK Models Mosquito B IV.

So will start hacking it apart to make the prototype soon. Not into Dark side modelling, save me a lot if money

Though.

This little kit was a gap in our HpH review list:

After chatting to Kuni from ZM, he arranged to have this put away for me:

A nice pit for a future project:

An ÜBER F-104 Starfighter decal set from DACO. 6 sheets and over 700 decals for German/Bavarian machines. Thanks to Erik for sorting this for me :)

Nice. I'm looking forward to the non-bias ;) look at the Ta-152.

 

Exactly. A good kit is a good kit, no matter where it comes from. The Ho 229 was amazing, and still would've been even if HKM was doing one.

 

Novel perspective eh? ;)
