Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 21, 2015 Administrators Posted February 21, 2015 Hi All, Here we go! Yet another Mosquito being build here on LSM while the kit is not even on the shelves yet. This kit arrived wrapped in bubbles, no decals and no instructions. Got these in PDF from Jim to help me out, since I'm not big with puzzles. Having already seen the sprues and kit at Telford the shock of all the slide mouldings wasn't big, but still impressive... Borrowed a few Mossie books from Cees (since I'm not an RAF expert) and just bought an HGW Sutton harness. My plan is to start with the instrument panel (some Airscale will help me out here) and see where I'll go from there! Let the journey begin... 6
Wingco57 Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Very interesting. Let the feast commenceth. Cees
Administrators Fran Posted February 21, 2015 Administrators Posted February 21, 2015 Great!!! Give us lots of pics!!
Administrators James H Posted February 21, 2015 Administrators Posted February 21, 2015 YES! ....finished it yet? 1
Dave J Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 I'm am still waiting for mine to arrive too.. Looks like your going to get a head start on me.... 1
GusMac Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Looking forward to this Jeroen. Have always had a soft spot for the Mossie since reading the 633 Squadron books as a kid. Really hope they do the fighter-bomber as well. Gus
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted February 22, 2015 Author Administrators Posted February 22, 2015 Hi Gus, I'm sure they will Cut some plastic. Adding details to various areas. Added instrument housings to the back of the IP, wiring, etc.. Added some detail to control column with spare PE. Using Airscale decals and PE bezels to detail the instrument panel. I'll use HGW seatbelts. 5
Administrators James H Posted February 22, 2015 Administrators Posted February 22, 2015 Plastic sexy time. Nice additional work on the seat and rear IP too.
TeWika Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Looking good Jeroen- you're doing fast work!!
MikeMaben Posted February 22, 2015 Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for sharing this Jeroen. Waiting for the MkVI, should be later this year
Grant Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 And we're off and running with another Jeroen special!! I can't wait 1
Wingco57 Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Not bad for an not-RAF-modeller In fact very nice. The leather cushions were either dark green, dark brown or dark black Cees
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 1, 2015 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2015 Ok, made some progress n the pit this weekend. Added: - Airscale instruments - Airscale bezels - Airscale placards - Lead wire and instrument housings from plastic rod - HGW Sutton seatbelts The pit construction is quite clever as you can see. The pit is assembled and slides into the one piece moulded outer fuselage. The small discs on the inside of the pit are not ejector pin marks, but strengthening discs to accommodate instruments, wires, etc... (thnx Cees!) 9
Wingco57 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 WoW, that looks great, especially the seatbelts. Nice touch that bombsight. Well done, Cees
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 1, 2015 Author Administrators Posted March 1, 2015 Cheers Cees, Working on the tail anti shimmy wheel 5
Administrators James H Posted March 2, 2015 Administrators Posted March 2, 2015 Coming together real quick. The wing builds just as fast too. Liking this one LOTS.
Grant Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 It's certainly coming on all right! (Never knew that the design of the tail wheel was to solve a "shimmy" problem! Why the hell don't supermarkets use this on their trolleys !!!!!) 1
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 16, 2015 Author Administrators Posted March 16, 2015 Hi Guys, Sorry to have been so quiet over here! It's been busy at work, but this weekend managed to squeeze in some bench time. Used chipping agent by spraying all the green parts a light green. Then darker green and chipped that layer. I'll add some additional wires to the engine. Gear is Alclad followed by matt varnish and AMMO wash. 6
Wouter Posted March 16, 2015 Posted March 16, 2015 Love your paintwork Jeroen. I think I should try your approach in painting the sub assemblies/parts first instead of gluing everything together and paint afterwards. 1
