Administrators JeroenPeters Posted August 16, 2015 Administrators Posted August 16, 2015 Hi All, Finally finished the cookie monster! Basically a test shot that misses the fabric patches surface details and didn't include decals. I used Mal's perfect masks for the codes, roundels and No Step indications and also the ProfiModeller stencil decals. These include some typo's and are huge in numbers, but they definitely add some life to the otherwise dull surface of the wooden wonder. I took my time with the weathering part. Using a grey sharp colour pencil for scratches and a silver Prisma pencil for the scratches on aluminium parts, like the cowlings. Overall I'm pleased with the result and love the sleek lines of this machine. At the time I started this kit little after market was available, so limited to the HGW sutton harnesses and ProfiModeller Pitot tube. Ah! And almost forgot. I used Airscale decals for the instrument panel. Cheers! Next! 16
Administrators James H Posted August 16, 2015 Administrators Posted August 16, 2015 Just amazing! So pleased that this came out so well, and only a test shot too..... I suppose I'd better bung you another Mossie then? 3
One-Oh-Four Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 VERY sweet looking bird, Jeroen! As for those "etched patches", I don't have very much documentation on the Mossie, but what I have doesn't show any difference in surface texture / light reflection around hatches or the like on the wooden surfaces. Not on period photos but I haven't seen it on restoration projects either. Looking at it in that light, I'm seriously considering polishing them out.
Administrators Fran Posted August 16, 2015 Administrators Posted August 16, 2015 Wooooow!!!! Amazing job
rkranias Posted August 16, 2015 Posted August 16, 2015 Lovely work Jeroen. Look forward get my Mossie. Waiting at HLJ ... Actually, look forward to finish my bench rebuild first. Then to the Mossie, Ju88 Mistel, MDC Tiffy, Fw190C, Dh.9 and the list goes on! 2

Administrators James H Posted August 17, 2015 Administrators Posted August 17, 2015 Doesn't look 'fatally flawed' to me Jeroen! 2
JG26 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Very nice indeed, clean finish. Now, bring on all those other HK & Tammi mozzies people! You have no excuse...
Wingco57 Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Jeroen, Another highpoint in your impressive production line. The weathering looks superb. Ok, and now a negative comment............not! Cees 1
One-Oh-Four Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Doesn't look 'fatally flawed' to me Jeroen! Only Jeroen himself is fatally flawed....... 1
Pepper-Mint Posted September 19, 2015 Posted September 19, 2015 Beautiful Mossy Jeroen ! Paintings and weathering are superbly clean. And right on time ... 1
