Lovin' it. That shade in the bomb bay looks perfect.

 

I hope you haven't glued those oil tanks yet ;)

Been busy reviewing but did manage to get some work done on the Mossie.

Tailwheel is done:

Bought some proper mesh for the anti icing intake cover (right Cees?):

You're motoring! From here, the build goes very quickly. 

 

Superb work as always. Those bays are sublime.

Been a bit busy with work, but managed to get one or two things done.

In the meanwhile Jim sent me his spare set of Miracle masks:

Started masking the traditional ay with cut tape. Bleh! Too much work.

Tried Vallejo fluid mask and it works like a dream. Flows along the frames.

I think you piqued me at just about every stage with this. Such a great looking build so far, but you should have spent 4 hours with masking tape on those canopies. You've just cheated!

Cheers guys,

 

Here's some more work on the Cookie. Sorry for scratching it Cees! I'm just a bit clumsy ;)

Sprayed the colored lines. Needs some washes and details still.

wonderful looking build Jeroen

 

am very interested in the masking fluid

 

presumably it needs rather prominent ridges in the canopy frame to work - do you think it would struggle on say a Tamiya Spitfire canopy / something where the demarcation is very subtle

 

like the cookie (everyone loves cookies don't they?!)

Hi Nick,

 

I have various kinds of liquid mask. The one i used here is the most thin. The mossie canopy has VERY thin and fine panel lines and raisings. Still it tends to flow capular along the edges. Let me spray and check for the final result, but if this works, I'm never going to cut a mask or use pre cut....
